Greater Yuma EDC has submitted a grant application to fund the development and maintenance of a Joint Strike Fighter website, dedicated towards the dissemination of news and information as well as garnering public support for this important project.  Included within this grant application are dollars dedicated towards the advertising of public meetings, the creation and distribution of flyers and other materials that will be used for public information purposes.

Please come participate in this committee and lend your support to one of the greatest economic opportunities to ever present itself to the Marine Corps not to mention the economic impact this can have on Yuma County.  We look forward to seeing all of you on February 9, 2010.
