Wright/Airport
Sir:
I am writing to support the city airport and the improvements that are
being considered.
I am a pilot and have my airplane parked at the airport. I live in a
rural area between Kalispell and Whitefish. I just want to point out
out that people that live out side of the city limits of Kalispell still
should be considered in any decision that you are going to make.
By having my plane there it draws me to Kalispell to do all my shopping,
eating out and most entainerment functions. All my avaition related
expenses are handled at the airport, fuel, maintence,training, etc. I
could go on but I think you get the picture, I spend thousands of
dollars each year to support your city even though I don't live there,
so I feel you should give non residents some thought when making
decisions.
Remember the jobs that are created by the airport and any improvements
you make are directly tied to prosperty there. The job climate is bad to
say the least and the improvements made would be a job builder, think
about it.
One last thing . Tourism is a big factor in this state, can we aford to
turn away avaition tourist and the money they spend.
Please give it a lot of thought and make the right decisions for your
valible asset the "CITY AIRPORT".
Thank you.
