Our employee’s, neighbors and friends,
In regards to the funding and increase in taxation to fund the airport.
We feel this airport is a very important part of our community, due to the importance of being able to utilize the lifeline to bigger and better medical facilities.
Without a runway that is acceptable, it would not be possible to fly the medical evacuation planes in and out of it.
The airport is very important to the fire protection air support.
Another major item is that the airport is utilized by a number of businesses in the area, including us. We regularly use the airport in our business ventures. This allows us to offer job stability to the employees at Tahtsa Timber. This airport is a connection to areas that otherwise are difficult to travel to.
We feel that is investment is a good use of our tax dollars.
Respectfully,
Stephen Burkholder
