Small Community Air Service Development Grant Proposal 

Docket DOT-OST-2011-0119 

Dear Ms. Ley, 

Please accept this letter as support for the above referenced Small Community Air Service 

Development grant proposal as submitted by the City of Pikeville. As a 9'^ generation Pike 

countian there Have been many opportunities to hear previous community leaders speak 

of a poor local economy due to isolation. With great effort over the past 50 years, our 

community now have some major roads that help bring industries into the area that help 

bolster the economy and bring additional jobs outside of the Coal industries. 

But we cannot stop with roads! My experiences as a 20 year pilot and 30 year local 

business leader would say that a 2.5 hour drive from any Commercial Airline will absolutely 

impede any economic progress a community may have achieved from good road 

development » ^^^

The Pikeville-Pike County Regional Airport (PBX) sits at the center of a 13 county region 

of 345,000 people in Eastern Kentucky, Western Virginia and Southwestern West Virginia 

and is more than 100 miles from the nearest commercial airport. The PBX Region is 

surrounded by one of America's most important energy producing regions and is ripe for 

additional econohnic, industrial and business growth. The introduction of scheduled 

passenger airline service'wIR-assist in creating thousands of new jobs. 

The successful award of a Small Community Air Service Development grant will 

significantly assist the City of Pikeville and its partners - the Pikeville-Pike County Airport 

Board and the Southeastern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and its consultant in 

successfully recruiting a regional airline which will provide service to a major connecting 

hub. I am pleased tojoin my colleagues from throughout the region in recommending that 

the Department provide the SCASD grant to the City of Pikeville.
