Virginia plans to build an Outlying Landing Field (OLF) in NC without the consent of the people. The OLF is to mitigate the noise pollution in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, VA.

Read the Executive Summary on page E-1 and Chapter 5 page 5-8. Unbelievable. http://www.vbgov.com/vgn.aspx?vgnextoid=5ba2964c2b04c010VgnVCM1000006310...

We need your help this has been going on for almost 10 years with over 22 communities on or off the list at any given point. This is dangerous to the environment, the wildlife and the people.

Over 30,000 acres are ruthlessly going to be impacted, that is 46 square miles.

This needs to be stopped and we need your help. Support House Bill 613.

There is a great debate in our state right now about a bill introduced. Our politicians are trying to protect the will of the people with this bill. I would love your thoughts.

You may not know it, here in northeastern NC we are STILL battling to save our future and way of life. The Navy is seeking to place an Outlying Landing Field (OLF) in Camden County that will remove up to 53,000 acres of valuable, productive farmland from the county’s tax rolls.

Please keep in mind that the OLF will not create any jobs for our community and will not be of economic benefit to our area. We have discovered that the current OLF at Fentress Field in Chesapeake, Virginia, employs only 38 military personnel (Section 3.5.1.1 of the 2003 FEIS) and has attracted virtually no economic development.
