Anderson, W/Value of Kalispell City AirportDear Sir or Madam:
I understand that the City Council is contemplating closure of the
Kalispell City Airport. As a businessman and aircraft pilot, I would
find this a significant disincentive to transact business in Kalispell.
A convenient airport close to town, such as the City Airport, is a
significant benefit for easy access to town. As a business person,
time is money. I often fly into a town using the closest airport
available. An airport close to the business centers is a significant
positive for my ability to efficiently transact business. Conversely, I
see cities and towns without efficient air transportation options. Take
for example Rochester, MN. There is a large airport 10 miles from
town. The city fathers did not have the foresight to develop a close in
general aviation airport. I find little to no reason to visit this
town due to the inconvenience of the air transportation options. Given
a choice, I avoid visiting these towns. I figuring the city ruling
bodies didn’t have the foresight to develop air transportation in their
business planning and this are not business friendly.
Please keep the City Airport open to provide for business access to town
resources.
Sincerely,
Ward Andersen
