Airports can build local economies.
As I addressed earlier an economy consists of four things: the movement of goods, people, information, and capital. Get these things flowing around, and as many fingers on them as possible, and one has a very healthy economy.
With a healthy local or regional airport we can do three things very well when we are moving people, goods and capital. Bremerton National Airport should become a passenger airport. We are uniquely situated to host regional airlines like Horizon and if it is couple with train that connects Belfair to the Shipyard/ferry terminal we can have a lot of people coming to Kitsap for a lot of reasons. Those people bring capital, and capital brings jobs. ‘Nuff said.
