On behalf of the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce, I want to express our strong support for 

your new service grant application to reinstate dally non-stop jet service from ROM to LAX. 

As you are aware, Sunriver is a major vacation and visitor destination in Central Oregon, 

drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists each year who inject millions of dollars into our local 

economy. One of our most important (and lucrative) tourism markets Is southern California. 

Convenient air transportation in the form of direct jet flight service between Los Angeles and 

Redmond is essential in maintaining and growing our tourism business. 

We sincerely hope you are successful in obtaining a Small Community Air Service Development 

Program Grant for this important and much-needed service.

Dear Ms. Ley: 

The Marriott Hotels of Bend strongly supports the air service proposal detailed in the City of Redmond's Small Community Air Service 

Development Program grant application to obtain nonstop service to southern California. Like many businesses in &ntral Oregon, our 

business depends on access to air service to continue to prosper.

p 

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,

Dear Ms. Ley: 

On behalf of Beecher Carlson Insurance Agency, I am writing to support the grant application 

for U.S. DOT funding for the Redmond Municipal Airport. Given our geographic isolation from 

other metros in the western U.S. and the fact that no interstate roadway connects Central Oregon to 

the rest of the country, commercial air services plays a disproportionately important role for our 

company and the region's economy. Our company, and many others, rely heavily on scheduled air 

service to connect with customers, suppliers, strategic partners and headquarter or satellite 

operations. 

Non-stop service to southern California would be extremely valuable to our clients and colleagues. 

As such we are very supportive of this effort. We believe this service will be successful, sustainable 

and will play an important role in our success in addition to growing and diversifying the regional 

economy. 

On behalf of Beecher Carlson Insurance Agency Inc., thank you for your consideration and the 

opportunity to express our strong support of tlus grant request. 

Sincerely,
