Argument for authorization to sell surplus real property

Dear Editor, The Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce is in support of authorizing the City to sell and develop approximately 1813.40 acres of City-owned property located in the Kingman Airport and Industrial Park.  Having this land available for sale will encourage future industrial and airport growth as outlined in the 2019 Kingman Airport and Industrial Park impact analysis.

To all Arizona State Representatives: Please review AZ Statute 26-303 (Emergency Powers of Governor). During a “State of Emergency” the Governor shall have “COMPLETE authority over ALL agencies of the state government…” The Governor himself/herself is the single source of the determination and declaration of an emergency. “Emergency” is so vaguely and broadly defined that virtually ANYTHING will serve as an excuse to make such a declaration.
