Wayne County residents are being encouraged to attend Thursday's open house information session at Herman Park Center concerning Seymour Johnson Air Force Base's selection as the preferred alternative for a reserve squadron of 12 new state-of-the-art KC-46A Pegasus tanker aircraft.
The public can stop by Herman Park Center, 901 East Ash St., any time between 5 and 8 p.m. since there is no formal Air Force presentation and no opportunity for public testimony.
However, written comments will be accepted.
The come-and-go style open house session is an opportunity for residents to learn more about the reserve squadron's mission and to speak with Air Force personnel.
During a legislative breakfast last Friday state Rep. John Bell of Goldsboro, a member of the Homeland Security, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, said Wayne County residents need to fill Herman Park Center.
