Economic development at Camp Navajo in Bellemont is one step closer to reality after decisions by both the Coconino County Board of Supervisors and Congress earlier this month.
At the beginning of the year, Congress approved an omnibus defense bill that included language supporting economic development efforts at Camp Navajo, including the transfer of federal land to state control.
Getting approval for the transfer of close to 3,000 acres of land owned by the U.S. Army at Camp Navajo to be owned and managed by the State of Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs has long been a hurdle to the project.
