Airport impact In last Sunday's Steamboat Pilot & Today I read with some amusement the comments of a Steamboat Airport supporter decrying the lack of positive press coverage regarding the $7,000,000 of economic benefit that the Steamboat Airport brings to our community. Let's set the record straight. The report "Economic Impact Study" that the Colorado Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics issued in 2001 quantifies the economic importance of airports in terms of dollars and jobs. It provides information to municipalities and local sponsors that can be used to evaluate policy decisions, to assess capital investment needs and to make other airport decisions. In fact according to the report, the Steamboat Airport does account for $7,287,900 of projected benefit to the Steamboat region. However, the report continues on listing the economic benefit from the Yampa Valley Regional Airport at $225 million. In simple terms 97 percent of the economic benefit to the city of Steamboat comes from YVRA while only 3 percent comes from the Steamboat Airport.
