Re: Air service to airport

Dear Supervisor Bevilacqua:

I am a resident of your neighbor, The Town of Santa Clara. That said, I hope you will

consider my perspective on the air service to the airport that serves both towns and the

surrounding area.

I am often out of town because, as the letterhead indicates, my work takes me to

Syracuse much of the work week. However, I am very much involved in the Saranac

Lake community as well as the community of the Adirondack Park. I am currently on

the board of Paul Smith's College, The Adirondack North Country Association, and the

Adirondack Bureau of the Wildlife Conservation Society. My wife is on the board of

The Trudeau Institute. Not only do we spend a great deal oftime involved with these

organizations as board members, we come in frequent contact with others who travel to

board meetings, some from great distances. We are also aware of at least some ofthe

travels of staff, leadership and faculty. These are people who use the airport and would

use it more with increased service. Many of these people donate their time and drive

six or more hours to meetings. Some travel to conferences to present papers. Others are

"on the road" raising money.

I write to request that DOT, the town, the state all seek and support increased air

service to the Harrietstown Airport. Boston service has been important. It has grown

and prospered with Cape Air. It now has a critical mass that makes it a viable and

valuable service and, in my opinion Cape Air is doing a great job. Three flights per

day works and works well from Boston and I would not want to see that service

reduced.

I also know that most of the people I work with and the board members for the boards I

am on travel from or through the New York City metropolitan area. I am therefore

writing to support the addition of service to New York City in the EAS program that is

so important to Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake and the region.

Ido not write on behalf of any organization Iam on the board of. I am the classic

private citizen. I am not a CEO or a COO or an Executive Director. However, I know

how much my friends and follow volunteers could benefit by air service to NYC. I

know that researchers and administrators at WCS, PSC, Trudeau, etc. all would be able

to enhance their work, travel with more options and less inconvenience. We could

attract more entrepreneurs who need access to New York City.

I will not go on further but do want to add my appreciation for the service of Cape Air.

It isn't often that a large business like Cape Air has the skill to support small

improvements and smaller cities and towns.

Very truly yours,

BOrS~~_P_LL_C----.---- _
