Luke stakeholders learn condemnation an option

Showing how serious they are about protecting Luke Air Force Base's
mission, military officials said last week that condemnation would be an
option if landowners refused to allow the Air Force to obtain the
perpetual land-use restrictive easements it wants.

When asked by an attendee of the March 31 stakeholder forum if
condemnation was a possible result of stalled negotiations, Terri Kaplan,
chief of the Army Corps of Engineers' real estate division, said simply:
"Yes."

Brig. Gen. Philip Breedlove, commander of the 56th Fighter Wing and Luke,
added, "We'd be way down the road before we came to that."

Mike Bratlien, a civilian member of the Air and Education Training Command
of the Air Force, said the land acquisition n 1,768 acres extending past
the north and south ends of the runway n is expected to begin in June.
