The Madison County chairman recently discussed the NGA decision to find a new facility in St. Louis.
Madison County Chairman Alan Dunstan recently released comments following the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) decision to locate the new NGA facility in St. Louis rather than St. Clair County.
“I am disappointed in the decision by National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) Director Robert Cardillo not to locate the new, western headquarters of the agency adjacent to Scott Air Force Base in St. Clair County,” Dunstan said. “The St. Clair County site is, in my opinion, clearly superior to the site the director selected. My disappointment in the director’s decision is tempered by the unified effort of Illinois’ U.S. senators, congressmen, governor, and county and municipal officials to promote southwestern Illinois and work in support of St. Clair County’s efforts to bring the NGA to the Metro East.”
Dunstan thanked St. Clair County Chairman Mark Kern, members of the St. Clair County board and other officials for developing the bid proposal and working to bring the NGA facility to southwestern Illinois.
