"With the recent announcement of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Record of Decision, I wanted to take the opportunity to personally thank the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce for your endorsement of the runway project and support over the past several years. It has been a long and difficult process, and of the few willing to lend their voices to the debate, you have been an unwavering ally to this airport. The Chamber is a great advocate for economic development, and it has meant a great deal to have you championing the effort on behalf of TF Green. The project components of financing, acquisitions and construction are expected to take a few years to bring to completion. With the project approval and an improving economy, I feel confident and optimistic about Green’s future. Thank you again. "
