During public hearing on Tuesday, the Board of County Commissioners proclaimed the week of July 24-30 as PD AeroSpace week in Adams County. While in Colorado, the Japanese delegation will tour regional points of interest including the Space Port site, Bromley Farm/Koizuma-Hishinuma Farm, University of Colorado Boulder, and Colorado School of Mines, and attend a Rockies game at Coors Field.

The group will finish with a private Summer Showcase at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum on Tuesday, July 30, which will include panels, networking, and remarks by Gov. Jared Polis, Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, and Reps. Ed Perlmutter and Jason Crow.
