28 CHAMBERot <br />a COMMERCE <br />April 14,2017 <br />Re.EIIensburg Visitor Center <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />A primary goal of the Chamber and of EIIensburg'stourism-dependent businesses long has been a <br />Visitor Information Center much closer to the busy EIIensburgSouth Interchange.Such a facility would <br />inform visitors about the tremendous visitor and recreational offerings of EIIensburgand Kittitas County <br />as a whole,and most critically it would draw visitors from the Interchange into central EIIensburg. <br />The City of EIIensburg's Entryway Park at the intersection of Mountain View and Main Street near Super- <br />1 Foods is an ideal location for such a facility,and over the past several years discussion has occurred <br />about undertaking such a critical tourism project.However,funding has been a barrier to making it <br />happen. <br />For these reasons the Chamber strongly and enthusiastically supports the application of the City of <br />EIIensburgfor Major Projects Lodging Tax funding for a visitor center and Entryway Park.It's hard to <br />imagine a more tourism-enhancing project for the funding . <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss our strong support. <br />Si ere <br />Jim Armstrong <br />C.E.O. <br />jim@kittitascountychamber.com <br />609 N MAIN STREET |ELLENSBURG,WA 98926 |OFFICE:509-925-2002 |TOLL FREE:888-925-2204 |FAX:509-962-6148 <br />info@kittitascountychamber.com |www.kittitascountychamber.com
