Dear Mr

. Secretary , I am writing to express the support of the Cashmere Chamber of Commerce for the Pangborn Memorial Airport's 2012 Small Community Air Service Development grant subm i ssion.
This airport serves as a vital link to the national a i r transportation system for all of North Central Washington, encompassing the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains from Canada to Interstate 90

. It i s an essential public facility that facilitates economic growth within the community and represe n ts a significant asset to the l ocal tourism industry, including that in Cashmere. Pangborn Memorial Airport is experiencing modest passenger growth after decli n ing passenge r enplanements in 2010. However, a significant number of local residents and visitors to North Central Washington still are not taking advantage of the convenient transportation services offered by Alaska Airlines and SeaPort Airlines

. The Small Commun i ty Ai r Service Development Program offers the Pangborn an opportunity to more effectively promote the services offered by its airline partners

. The requested grant funding would help the region preserve the value of an important local asset by ensuring the long-term sustainability of local air service

.
Sincerely,

Laurie Shorett President. Cashmere Chamber of Commerce
