MCHAMBERot <br />m COMMERCE <br />May 2,2016 <br />Hon.Geoff Scherer <br />Mayor,City of Roslyn <br />Box 451 <br />Roslyn,WA 98941 <br />Dear Mayor Scherer: <br />The Kittitas County Chamberof Commerce supports the City of Roslyn's Town to Teanaway project <br />which would purchase 160 acres of private property between the Roslyn Urban Forest and the extensive <br />public lands to the north. <br />Town to Teanaway also builds recreational connectivity between the communities of Roslyn,Cle Elum, <br />Ronald,and Suncadia Resort.Presently,the break in public ownership disconnects Roslyn's trail network <br />and surrounding trail systems (including the Coal Mines Trail,Suncadia trail system,Washington State <br />Horse Park trails,and the John Wayne Trail)from the regional trail systems found on The Nature <br />Conservancylands and in the Teanaway Community Forest. <br />The Kittitas County Chamberof Commercetracks visitors and tourists to our area on an annual basis. <br />Trails and experiences in nature are one of the most frequent reasons given for visits to our region and <br />any opportunity to expand those offerings would have significant economic impacts. <br />Congratulations to the City of Roslyn for taking this proactive step to securing funds for the future of <br />outdoor recreation in our County.Please let us know how we can assist in the future. <br />Sincerely, <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
