Dear Secretary LaHood: 

AZCO INC. strongly supports the Outagamie County Regional Airport's (ATW) Small Community 

Air Service Development Grant, which will allow for new and improved service. The success of 

air service contributes greatly to the economic vitality of the Fox Cities. Quality air service aids 

our economy through improved access for visitors, tourism and is vital to business growth and 

retention. 

We support Outagamie County Regional Airport's plan to attract new service into the market. 

The airport's recent efforts to build strong business community support for air service 

development have been impressive and are critical to long-term success. The increased 

exposure With the help of 2010 Small Community Air Service Grant was successful in driving the 

awareness of flying locally. AZCO looks forward to continuing to partner with the airport in 

solidifying local business partnerships and promoting the airport. 

Our Community will suffer as a result of the loss of United Airline non-stop flight to Denver 

during the economic downturn and the recent announcement of Frontier Airlines that their 

service to Milwaukee will be discontinued this September. These seats were critical and we 

need to backfill the lost capacity. Although ATW's message of "fly local" resonated with the 

community the effectiveness is hindered with this loss of service which forces us to drive to 

other airports. 

Our firm in particular benefits considerably from the convenience of air travel from ATW. We 

are a national contractor performing work on both coasts and throughout the Upper IVIidwest. 

Our supervision and management teams fly weekly from ATW. Having to travel to Green Bay or 

iVIilwaukee to reach destinations adds considerable expense in time and costs for our 

personnel. With considerable work in Pueblo, Colorado the last three years, the loss of the nonstop on United to Denver has been extremely limiting to our business. The departure of 

Frontier in a few weeks reduces our options.

Dear Secretary LaHood: 

The Boldt Company strongly supports the Outagamie County Regional Airport's (ATW) 

Small Community Air Service Development Grant. We believe a successful grant will 

allow for new and improved service. Not only is the availability of air service vitally 

important to our business, but it contributes greatly to the economic vitality of the Fox 

Cities, 

I was personally involved in helping to support the airport's recent efforts to build strong 

business community support for air service development. Speaking on behalf of our 

airport's attributes, I was impressed by the response at this airport. Increased exposure, 

with the help of 2010 Small Community Air Service Grant, was successful and drove 

awareness of flying locally. My company looks forward to continuing to be an advocate 

for the airport to encourage local business partnerships and use of the airport. 

I am very concerned that our Community will suffer as a result of the loss of United 

Airliners non-stop flight to Denver (which I personally used) during the economic 

doAvntum. The most recent aimouncement of Frontier Airlines discontinuing service to 

Milwaukee this September was another step in the wrong direction. These seats were 

critical and we need to backfill the lost capacity. 

Our employees and I personally am a heavy user of the airport for business travel. Our 

operations take us throughout the United States and occasionally internationally. We also 

have a large network of customers, sub-contractors, suppliers, and business associates 

who come to our corporate headquarters in Appleton on a regular basis. Reduced service 

will add to our and their business costs. We have experienced numerous incidents where 

employees, customers and business partners have been forced to make altemative plans 

when service options were not available. 

We strongly support the Outagamie County Regional Airport's grant request for funds to 

be used to supplement local fimds to support new air service.

act as the central focus of the region, the grouping of many small and midsized cities such as 

Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Neenah, and Waupaca does indeed 

nakt this area an important economic base in the State of Wisconsin. We absolutely need rocksolid air service to maintain and expand the region's economic stability.
