Mayor Nexsen, City Council and Lake Havasu City join AWR to apply for Compatibility Determination of Project

On November 10, 2008, the City and AWR jointly applied to the Refuge Manager, requesting approval of the Refuge Compatibility Determination. The City and AWR request that concerned citizens and public officials contact the US Fish & Wildlife Service to encourage timely approval of that request.
