KPAA supports proposed Killington budget

Dear Editor,

As the organization that represents the businesses in the Killington Region, the Killington Pico Area Association (KPAA), supports the Select Board’s 2015/2016 budget proposal, including Article 3, which will be voted on Tuesday, March 3 on Town Meeting Day.

We believe the budget, with its investments in public safety, road construction/maintenance, and economic development/tourism programs, will lead to continued progress in our resort community. The budget proposal is consistent with the mission and objectives of our organization.

To further educate our members, we are holding a candidate forum later this week to learn more about the Select Board candidates’ specific positions related to the KPAA, its membership, and our objectives to work with the town and the Resort to grow the regional economy.

Sincerely,

Howard Smith, KPAA President
