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 submission. 

This airport serves as a vital link to the national air transportation system 

for all of North Central Washington, encompassing the east slopes of the 

Cascade Mountains from Canada to Interstate 90. It is an essential public 

facility that facilitates economic growth within the community and 

represents a significant asset to the local tourism industry, including that 

in Cashmere. 

Pangborn Memorial Airport is experiencing modest passenger growth 

after declining passenger 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 Community Air 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
