The <br />addition of a complex for the advancement of responsible handling of all types of firearms, archery and the opportunity <br />for the education of our youth in an outdoor environment is priceless. The complex would also give our branches of law <br />enforcement the ability to train in all aspects of their job as required by law and local clubs would have the ability to <br />hold competitions among themselves and with clubs from other areas of the state and country. <br />This complex will add to the economy of the Grand Valley's service providers such as hotels/motels, restaurants, gas <br />stations, sporting goods stores and all the other retailers that are located here will see an increase in sales. This, in turn, <br />means more jobs are available for the citizens that live and work in and around the valley. Increased visitation increases <br />the potential for our'mom and pop' stores to stay in business, aid our hotels and restaurants and allows for an increase <br />in local sales which revenues support local governmental services. <br />The Palisade Board of Trustees asks that you accept this letter of support with the knowledge that the potential for a <br />facility of this type will enhance the Palisade experience for both our citizens and our guests. <br />Sincerely, <br />The Palisade Board of Trustees <br />Mayor L.
