Growth in Central Oregon over the past few years has been fueled by the presence of the Redmond Municipal Airport. As you evaluate the merits of this application, I encourage you to consider how critically important air service is to Central Oregon. As our community continues to grow and more visitors are drawn to this unique region, our limited transportation options will be further strained unless service is expanded at Redmond Municipal Airport. The Airport has forged strong ties with the business community to attract better air service. We appreciate the opportunity to expand that partnership to include the US Department of Transportation through the Small Community Air Service Development Program. We are pleased to 11ave the opportunity to support tl1is grant application. Sincerely,
