Re: Small Community Air Service Development Program

DOCKET NUMBER: DOT-OST-2013-0120

Dear Secretary Foxx:

On behalf of HNI Corporation, I am writing you in support of the Small Community Air Service Development 

Grant being submitted by the Quad City International Airport. 

The Quad City International Airport, located in Moline, IL, serves passengers from throughout the regions 

of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. The funds being sought will support the marketing efforts promoting 

existing, and possibly future, air service providers and their routes. 

Retaining quality and reliable air service in the Quad Cities is critical to the region’s globally connected 

businesses and residents. The Quad Cities region is a bi-state community with a population over 400,000. 

A diverse mix of Fortune 500 companies, including the world headquarters of Deere & Company, The Hon 

Company, Modern Woodmen of America, KONE Elevator/Escalator, and Alcoa all call the greater Quad 

Cities region home. In addition, the Department of Defense’s Rock Island Arsenal is located in the region, 

providing critical global logistics, training and manufacturing equipment and services to the joint forces. 

HNI Corporation supports the Quad City International Airport’s primary goals to solidify existing air service, 

moderate future fare increases and make current air service more sustainable, setting the course for future 

air service growth. Your full consideration of this grant request is appreciated to continue the economic 

growth potential for the Quad Cities region.

Sincerely,

Gary Carlson
