Amy Lathen, commissioner for District 2, and Dennis Hisey, commissioner from District 4, spent the morning receiving briefi ngs on the 21st Space Wing and its missions. Later, both commissioners were treated to a tour of the base. Th ey also learned about important local projects aff ecting Peterson, such as upcoming traffi c improvements on Powers Boulevard and the base’s growth plans. Th ough they have visited Peterson before, both commissioners said they were thoroughly impressed by the improvements that have been made here and the base’s plans for the future. “I was struck by the professionalism and the forward think- ing,” Ms. Lathen said. “Just everything you’re doing here.” Both Ms. Lathen and Mr. Hisey said it’s important for the county to preserve a strong working relationship with Peterson because many county and base issues cross paths. Several units on base, such as the fi re department and the explosives ordinance disposal team, also support county and city services when they need help. “Peterson supports so many of our services around the county,” Mr. Hisey said. “It’s not just what’s inside the fence here. Without them, we’d lose a lot of support, so our rela- tionship is critical.” Both commissioners said they look forward to working with Peterson for years to come and expressed gratitude for the contributions local Airmen make to the community.
