FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (July 14, 2023 – Hagåtña, Guam)–

In response to Governor Lourdes Leon Guerrero’s press release entitled “Governor Leon Guerrero Instructs Agencies to Attend Legislative Town Hall”, Speaker Therese Terlaje says the following: 

“We have learned from past Department of Defense projects that without complete details during the scoping, Draft EIS, and Final EIS periods, Guam’s leaders and public cannot effectively prevent the adverse impacts to health, safety, environment, land, and culture that result from these projects. This upcoming Legislative Town Hall seeks to ensure that those past mistakes do not happen again, and that conflicting information about the 360-degree EIAMD system can be addressed. It is important that all agencies work together to ensure that our community is well-informed so that our government and public responses can be effective to protect the safety of the people of Guam.”

The Legislative Town Hall on DoD’s proposed 360-degree EIAMD system will take place on Monday, July 17, 2023 at 5:30 P.M. in the Guam Congress Building. The public is encouraged to attend and participate.
