Vernon introduced all of the key players for the project, some who spoke at the event, including State Representative Jim Keffer, E. T. Bradley, Dave Fulton, of TxDOT Aviation, Eastland Airport Manager Bode Zietz, Mark Brohard of Shrickel Rollins & Associates, Weldon Scrivner of Enprotec/Hibbs & Todd and Mike Perry of the Eastland Industrial Foundation.
