Allvin to raise their concerns regarding proposed changes to the Reserve, Morenci and Tombstone Military Operations Areas (MOAs). In their letter, the lawmakers urged the Air Force to extend the public comment deadline for an additional 60 days to ensure they can adequately receive community feedback from all those who could be impacted in southwestern New Mexico.
