Dear Mr. Sheaffer,
dill
On behalf of the City of Port Angeles,we want to offer our sincere appreciation for tIze assistance that you
provided our community in getting.HuiricaneRldge Road opeza tlirou.ghoui tlae winter months this year.
rid
As you likely know, our community was able to raise a total of$75,000 to help support this effoit. This
funding was provided by a variety of.sources.including local corr,.panies, individual supporters, city and cbul�ty
governments,and our chamber'of conunerce. This broad based support illustrates the in'tportance of keeping
this road open so that both our residents and visitors can enjoy the assortinent of winter recreational activities
Ai that Hurricane Ridge has to offer.
During the next month we plan on launching a marketing program to'promote the fact that the.road will be open
throughout the winter months. We also plan on measuring the impact of this opening in terms of the additional
visitor,traffic generated and the impact on our local econoiny.-We will share this information with your office
next year with the hope that we can show that this road needs to be open throughout the winter on a,perinanent,
basis.
Thanks again for all of your help and.we invite.you to visit Port Angeles and Olympic National Park this winter
� . to see the results of your assistance to our community. ,
