Zip: Zip: Cell Phone: Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) Strategic Planning. We need continued focus on a strategic development plan to benefit the airport and community. At times in the past this has been too tactically driven. Recently we have started using an overall map of the area. The next step is to clearly identify zones/areas on the airport for the future terminal, a technology business park, and an aviation business area (FBO, aircraft maintenance, MRO, transient aircraft parking and hangar, executive hangar area, etc. Some of these elements already exist in places, but we need a plan and a development map to tie it all together. 2) Business development. We need to explore new ways to encourage development of existing and new aviation-oriented businesses at our airport. Existing businesses should be invited to the commission meetings and asked specifically what they would like/need in order to grow their businesses significantly. Separately, the commission needs to target new businesses for the technology park and work with local entities for public/private partnerships for the develop of the infrastructure as well as recruiting the businesses. 3) Airline service. The airport needs to continue its efforts in this regard and work with local business leaders to develop a plan for revenue guarantees in order to get airline service re-established. The right local business support matched with the airlines the provide the right route service to better serve theses businesses and their employees could be the winning combination to get one or more airlines serving our airport again.
