Ti-0. is in response to your May 14, 1982, letter addressed to Robert 0. Brown,
with regards to the Kalispell City Airport.
As you may be aware, this site has been the subject of numerous examinations
over the past years and while we appreciate your interest in preserving it,
this site does not qualify for inclusion in the National Airport System Plan
(HASP) and therefore is ineligible for federal aid.
If you wish to discuss this determination further, please contact either
myself or Dave Wingfield of this office.
Sinrely,

Dear Mr. Burley:
Thank you for your prompt response to our May 14th inquiry regarding Kalispell
City Airport inclusion in the National Airport System Plan.
We have, in hand, a study and a master plan done by T.A.P., Inc. of Bozeman,
Montana outlining the steps and required construction to improve our airport and
its' usefulness to Kalispell. These plans are being followed in our present
construction.
We were not aware of past examinations nor do we have any correspondence in our
files outlining any reasons that our airport may not qualify for NASP inclusion.
Our motive in contacting your office was to obtain this information so that we
could address the various situations in the work presently underway.
We appreciate your detailed comments and suggestions to improve our airport and
gain NASP inclusion.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,
