What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A veterans organization, Warbird National, has proposed a project to clean up PFAS-contaminated water near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The United States Air Force stated it would not pay for the groundwater cleanup. If the cleanup proceeds, Warbird National plans to sublease 500 acres of land from the Air Force to build a PGA-level golf course and an educational center.
