Press Release
The March Air Reserve Base (ARB) Joint Powers Authority (JPA) today approved an agreement with global cargo company DHL to open a new cargo facility at March ARB.
Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-44) applauded the decision.
"I would like to congratulate the JPA on the fair and open approval process that led to this decision. This is the kind of bold action that is needed to bring high paying jobs to the Inland Empire. I join with the majority of our community in welcoming DHL to March ARB. I have every confidence that they will be a good employer, neighbor and member of the March ARB team," said Calvert, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee.
"The DHL cargo facility at March will be the catalyst for new economic development in the area. Furthermore, by lowering the operating cost of the airfield to the military, DHL's presence will increase March's chances of avoiding closure in the 2005 BRAC process," predicted Calvert.
