(From left) Staff Sgt. Marlene Locks, 3rd Space Operations Squadron at Schriever AFB, Tech. Sgt. Lonnie Locks, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron, and their four-year-old son Quentin Locks, join Peterson Air Force Base senior leaders Col. Stephen N. Whiting, 21st Space Wing commander, Col. Emily Buckman, 21st Mission Support Group commander, and Lt. Col. John Silverman, 21st Force Support Squadron commander, breaking ground on the Peterson East child development center March 8. Located across from the base exchange and commissary, the $8.1 million project is being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Peterson East CDC will accommodate 192 children, increasing the wing’s ability to provide high-quality child care to servicemembers stationed here and is expected to open in August 2011. The 25,000 square-foot facility will be built using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver design criteria and include solar hot water heating, solar window shades and low water landscaping.
