SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Clerk’s Office received a request from the Alliance for Aviation Across America for a proclamation designating the month of November as “General Aviation Appreciation Month” in Valdez. A similar proclamation was approved by City Council in 2016 and 2017.
Formed in 2007, the Alliance for Aviation Across America is a non-profit, non-partisan coalition of over 6,300 individuals, businesses, agricultural groups, small airports, elected officials, charitable organizations, and leading business and aviation groups that are helping to raise awareness about the value of general aviation and local airports, particularly for rural communities. For these communities, general aviation and local airports support business activity, medical care, disaster relief, firefighting, agriculture, law enforcement, and a host of important resources and services.
