Yakima Airport Passenger Terminal Modernization Project Title: Date of Application: 3/15/2024 Project Summary: Describe the public infrastructure project and the private development that will occur. Explain why the private development requires the public infrastructure project: Yakima Air Terminal supports numerous aviation activities including passenger service, air cargo, aeromedical evacuation, aerial wild land fire fighting, business and personal travel, and aerospace manufacturing. In late 2019, right before the onslaught of the pandemic, the airport supported its peak volume in passengers at 14,000 passengers per month, resulting in $591 M annual economic impact and 2,366 jobs to the region. A result of the pandemic, in April 2020 travel dropped to and all-time-low of 500 passengers per month. As the airline industry struggled to maintain air service the airport's passenger volume rose to just over 8,000 passengers per month in September 2021, however one year the airline dropped to one set of flights per day and passenger volumes again plummeted. In November 2023 the airport was successful in negotiating the return of the second set of flights and passenger volumes recovered to about half of the 2019 high mark, with economic impact at$479M, a loss of$1.1M, and 1,559 jobs, a loss of 807 jobs from pre-pandemic levels. During the pandemic many passengers migrated to Pasco airport. The offerings at Pasco include a newer terminal and more flights to more designations, and overshadow the lower ticket price at Yakima. The Yakima airport passenger terminal was built in 1949 and has had two remodels, the most recent 24 years ago. The building is in dire need of renovation and modernization. Many spaces are now insufficient for modern travel with larger capacity airplanes and requirements such as ADA, fire and building code, TSA screening, and other space requirements. The legacy buildings systems are failing; numerous roof leaks, inefficient heating, cooling and lighting, 1950s copper wire telephone system, undersized fire suppression and water heating systems, numerous abandoned HVAC units... the building is long overdue for upgrades and improvements. The airport has developed a three-phase project to accomplish the needed work. The project includes constructing a second floor over one-story portions of the building to gain more space, which will allow revision of the current layout to accommodate the space requirements of modern air travel. The two-story portions of the building will receive a new roof, and current roof-mounted ductwork and gas lines will be brought inside the building. Electrical, water, sewer, fire suppression, HVAC, telecom, and lighting systems will all be brought up to current code and standards. TSA and three gates will move upstairs above the current sterile area, which will provide more space for passengers, and allow the addition of jetways to board aircraft rather than walking across the tarmac in all kinds of weather and negotiating the metal ramp, a real challenge for those with limited mobility. The airport will bring back the restaurant. The airport restaurant was known as 'the place'to go; the community still talks about it. This project will bring back a re-imagined version of the restaurant, with all the features one would expect and the feel of fine dining in the height of the 1950s. This project will embrace the rich history of Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field. The building facade will be freshened up but will retain the original look, and the interior will provide all the modern conveniences and will embody the classic 1950s style with design, fixtures, furniture, and equipment. The project will also enable the adoption of emerging aviation technology. The two remaining first-floor gates will allow the airport to receive small electric and hybrid-electric airplanes from small community airports across the state with non-TSA screened passengers. The Yakima community values the travel connections and economic vitality their airport provides. This request will be combined with $10M federal funds to begin the first phases of design and construction, and will lay the ground work for future projects and funding as the airport works through subsequent phases of the project. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 4 Yakima County SIED Program Indicate the Minimum Necessary Total Public Project Infrastructure Costs (no more than $1,000,000 total award from SIED when loan and grant combined): SIED Loan Requested: $ 750,000 SIED Grant Requested: $ Local Match (20%of SIED request) $ 5,000,000 All Other Funding Sources: $ _ 5,750,000 Total Public Project Cost: $ Total Private Investment in Plant/Equipment: $ 616 Total Jobs Created/Retained: 20.80 25.34 Median Wage: $_ Average Wage: $ Fringe Benefits Offered: Estimated Assessed Value of the New Plant/Equipment: $$ 1,217.53 Total SIED Request divided by Total Jobs Created/Retained: $ Total Private Investment in Plant/Equipment divided by Total SIED Request: $ Other Benefits of the Public Infrastructure Project: This project will develop a complete design for remaining phases of the project. The current working estimate for the completed project is$70M. This project will extend the useful life of the Yakima passenger terminal for several decades, and will integrate modern technologies that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Investment in this project also saves money compared to a brand new terminal. The project is a proof-of-concept for accommodating small all-electric and hybrid-electric air taxi aircraft. Aviation is transforming as new aviation aircraft and propulsion systems are coming to market; electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL)air taxis, all-electric and hybrid-electric airplanes, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)bio-jet fuel, and hydrogen propulsion. This project provides economic development in several ways; 1) It enables the return of passenger volumes to previous levels, and 2) positions the airport to obtain more destinations and air carriers; 3)enables the revision of the passenger terminal to accommodate vendors, including shops and food establishments;4)will lead to the return of the airport restaurant, which will both restore a memorable gathering place sought by the public and provide additional revenue and economic impact to the region. 5)will lead to more jobs at the airport. 6)the construction for the passenger terminal modernization will produce both construction jobs and economic impact as a result of construction.

Public Sector Project Al List all funding sources for the public project and amount Identify whether the amount has been provided or is being requested Provide the status and date the funds were approved or the date that funds are expected to be approved SOURCE STATUS DATE AMOUNT SIED loan requested $ SIED grant requested 4/5/2024 $750,000.00 Total project costs $$70,000,000.00 Funding to complete the Public Project must be secured within one year of a SIED offer of financial aid A2 Will this project upgrade an existing public facility or build a new one'? Upgrade Describe the entire public facility project, including the parts that you are not asking SIED to fund This multi-phase project will transform the airport terminal. It will include a new roof over the second floor, and new space constructed above single-story areas of the building, and reconstructing/new parking. The improvements will include a new sterile area on the second floor, and moving TSA passenger screening and three gates upstairs, with jetways, escalators, and an elevator. On the lower floor, the baggage claim area will be expanded and a new baggage conveyor installed. The airline ticket counters will be rearranged to accommodate multiple airlines with direct conveyor of baggage to the TSA baggage screening area. The previous 1st floor sterile area will become open public space with shops, snack bar/cafe, and wine tasting/sales. On the upper level east end of the building the commercial kitchen renovation will be completed and a new airport restaurant/bar constructed with a view of the the runway The lower level west side of the building currently houses TSA baggage screening and air cargo processing areas which will be expanded to accommodate an increased volume of baggage, and screening for larger air cargo. A3 Specifically, for what element(s) of the public project are SIED funds requested? These funds will match federal funds for design. To obtain funding for construction, the Federal Aviation Administration requires shovel-ready construction documents. This project will design phases 1 B, 2, and 3. It will deliver a cohesive design with complete and usable project phases ready for solicitation and permitting. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 6 Yakima County SIED Program A4. Describe how the public facility project will enhance or encourage other development in the immediate area in addition to the direct development described in this application section C This project will improve passenger flow in the building, eliminating crowding and lines at airline ticket counters, TSA screening, and baggage claim. It will also enable the establishment of shops, cafe/snack bars, and wine tasting on the ground floor, and the return of the landmark airport restaurant to the upper floor. All of these are benefits to the passenger, revenue for the airport, and jobs for the community. Air service is an economic engine for the community.A 2012 Aviation Economic Impact Study published by WSDOT determined 97% of Gross Business Income occurs within 10 miles of an airport, and 70% within five miles. Long term this project will add vibrancy to the community and economic vitality to the region. Access to air travel and air cargo shipping are staples of a strong business community. In addition to the robust offering of agricultural products, the airport hosts aerospace manufacturing businesses and the community benefits from manufacturing jobs. The airport terminal modernization is a powerful step towards raising the average wage and retaining local, young workers by providing broader career options with promotion and earnings potential.

What other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, port districts, tribes, state/federal agencies are involved in the planning, design, financing, construction or operation of this project? City of Yakima Federal Aviation Administration Department of Homeland Security/TSA Please explain how completion of the project is coordinated between other involved parties. The City of Yakima has overall financial responsibility for the development, delivery, code compliance, and funding of the project. The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for ensuring compliance with airport development criteria and for administering and dispersing federal funds The Transportation Security Administration is responsible for compliance with DHS criteria and requirements, and providing and installing unique security equipment. A9 Will the SIED public facility project be totally maintained by the applicant? If not, whom? Please explain The airport administration staff has overall responsibility for the building envelope, building systems, and parking and roadways. Individual tenant improvements and maintenance are the responsibility of tenants. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 8 Yakima County SIED Program A10. How will this project impact utility rates and public services within the jurisdiction? This project is being conducted in concert with energy improvements. An independent energy audit was conducted consultant Veregy under the supervision of the airport's on-call consultant JUB. The audit determined many of the building systems (electrical, gas, telecom, fire suppression, etc.)are under-performing today's energy standards. The design will incorporate upgrades to these systems that will reduce consumption, and solar collectors and battery storage will be incorporated into construction as funding becomes available. The consultant team is pursuing federal and state grants tailored to these improvements. The goal of the project is at a minimum to remain on par with current consumption serving a larger square footage, but ultimately to reduce consumption and the carbon footprint of the facility. B. Financial Information of SIED Applicant B1 Other public sources of funding for public economic development projects are listed below and must be investigated. In addition to SIED, identify which public sources were considered to fund this project. Indicate what the outcome was.

B2 In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIED assistance If the applicant has budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project. In 2023 the City of Yakima implemented a 10% cut to the general fund and does not have the funds to support this project. The airport has benefited from and FAA ARPA grant(#3-53-0089-050-2022)to fund salaries. With increased revenue over the last year from a new airport-administered parking system, and increased landing fees, fuel flowage fees, and terminal tenant revenue from restoration of the second set of flights, the airport is approaching a revenue level to fully fund salaries and benefits, however there is no room in the budget for additional expenses. B3 Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc)that are eligible to repay a SIED loan. The city is not in a position to make loan payments, and the airport, as an enterprise fund is in a similar condition. The primary purpose of this project is to bolster the economic impact of the airport and increase revenue at the airport and across the region. Will a revenue stream be generated that could repay a SIED loan outside of the system's normal operations and maintenance costs? If yes, please explain. Ultimately the improvements are likely to provide a revenue stream that could potentially repay some of the requested amount. However, this request is to support design for three phases of construction. When operating a commercial facility undergoing construction, patronage can experience a downturn. The three phases of construction are likely to overlap and it is anticipated the airport terminal could be continuously under construction for up to five years after construction commences (estimated spring 2026) before meaningful revenue is recognized. B4 If the local jurisdiction is not financially contributing to the project, please explain why. The City of Yakima is not in a financial position to contribute. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 10 Yakima County SIED Program C. Private Sector Project Complete Section C and a Contingency Agreement for each private sector entity. In order to show that a specific private investment is ready to occur, but will do so only if SIED assistance is made available to the applicant, SIED requires a signed Contingency Agreement(s) between the applicant and the private sector representative(s). If a developer is involved, there must also be a signed Contingency Agreement between the developer and the proposed tenant.

Washington Ave City: Yakima Zip Code: 98903 Cl. Describe the private development that will be supported by the public infrastructure/facility project. Horizon Air is the sole commercial air carrier operating out of Yakima Air Terminal. The company provides its own equipment for supporting passengers, baggage, and freight. As the terminal space is expanded and air service is increased, equipment additions and upgrades will be needed. C2. Explain why the private development requires the proposed public infrastructure improvements described in this application The current state of the terminal is static; no meaningful changes. The modernization will expand the air cargo space and the baggage claim and baggage screening areas, which will necessitate equipment additions and up-gauging. However these improvements will not be needed until a larger facility and increased flight volumes and aircraft size occur.

No more than$2,000,000 total award from SIED when loan and grant combined.) Interest rates on loans are established when the County formally approves the project contract by using the County Interfund Loan Rate,as authorized by law. Loans are given for a term of 10 years and annual payments are made in equal amounts on June 1st of each year. An interlocal agreement will be established between the County and the applicant specifying repayment dates and a loan amortization schedule. Loan payment installments are based on an ordinary annuity,compounded annually. If an applicant needs additional flexibility on loan repayment schedules they can request a deferral. Interest on loans will continue to accrue from the date the contract is approved by the County,even if the applicant is granted a deferral on their first loan payment. If an applicant requests a deferral of the first loan payment,the applicant must justify the request. A SIED loan is a general obligation of the jurisdiction receiving the loan. With acceptance of a SIED loan,the jurisdiction agrees to the terms of the interlocal agreement regardless of the project which prompted the application for SIED funding.

Signature of Responsible Official: Printed Name and Title: Indicate the full terms requested for SIED consideration: • Loan Terms Requested: 20° • A deferral of the first loan payment (up to five years): 5 years • Total number of years for repayment: 20 years • Please provide justification If requesting a deferral of the first loan payment: The airport is not currently generating enough revenue to repay a loan. Adding more flights will eventually provide needed revenue however,airport administration salaries and benefits are still benefiting from an ARPA grant, and recent increases in revenue will be needed to fund payroll as the grant nears completion. • Please provide justification if a lower interest rate is requested: The airport is operating on thin margins and funds to repay a loan are anticipated to be minimal at best for the next several years. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 3 Yakima County SIED Program 6 Executive Summary The SIED Advisory Board takes many factors into consideration when making recommendations for funding.This Project Summary highlights the main factors including: local match,funding from other sources,jobs created/retained,wage rates,jobs created/retained per SIED dollar invested, new private investment,and new tax revenues generated. Yakima Airport Passenger Terminal Modernization Project Title: Date of Application:4/5/2024 Project Summary: Describe the public infrastructure project and the private development that will occur. Explain why the private development requires the public infrastructure project: Yakima Air Terminal supports numerous aviation activities including passenger service, air cargo,aeromedical evacuation, aerial wild land fire fighting, business and personal travel, and aerospace manufacturing. In late 2019, right before the onslaught of the pandemic,the airport supported its peak volume in passengers at 14,000 passengers per month, resulting in$591 M annual economic impact and 2,366 jobs to the region. A result of the pandemic, in April 2020 travel dropped to and all-time-low of 500 passengers per month. As the airline industry struggled to maintain air service the airport's passenger volume rose to just over 8,000 passengers per month in September 2021,however one year the airline dropped to one set of flights per day and passenger volumes again plummeted. In November 2023 the airport was successful in negotiating the return of the second set of flights and passenger volumes recovered to about half of the 2019 high mark, with economic impact at$479M, a loss of$1.1 M,and 1,559 jobs,a loss of 807 jobs from pre-pandemic levels. During the pandemic many passengers migrated to Pasco airport. The offerings at Pasco include a newer terminal and more flights to more designations,and overshadow the lower ticket price at Yakima. The Yakima airport passenger terminal was built in 1949 and has had two remodels,the most recent 24 years ago. The building is in dire need of renovation and modernization. Many spaces are now insufficient for modern travel with larger capacity airplanes and requirements such as ADA, fire and building code,TSA screening, and other space requirements. The legacy buildings systems are failing; numerous roof leaks, inefficient heating, cooling and lighting, 1950s copper wire telephone system, undersized fire suppression and water heating systems, numerous abandoned HVAC units...the building is long overdue for upgrades and improvements. The airport has developed a three-phase project to accomplish the needed work. The project includes constructing a second floor over one-story portions of the building to gain more space,which will allow revision of the current layout to accommodate the space requirements of modem air travel. The two-story portions of the building will receive a new roof, and current roof-mounted ductwork and gas lines will be brought inside the building. Electrical,water, sewer,fire suppression, HVAC,telecom, and lighting systems will all be brought up to current code and standards. TSA and three gates will move upstairs above the current sterile area,which will provide more space for passengers, and allow the addition of jetways to board aircraft rather than walking across the tarmac in all kinds of weather and negotiating the metal ramp, a real challenge for those with limited mobility The airport will bring back the restaurant. The airport restaurant was known as'the place'to go;the community still talks about it. This project will bring back a re-imagined version of the restaurant,with all the features one would expect and the feel of fine dining in the height of the 1950s. This project will embrace the rich history of Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field. The building facade will be freshened up but will retain the original look,and the interior will provide all the modern conveniences and will embody the classic 1950s style with design, fixtures,furniture,and equipment. The project will also enable the adoption of emerging aviation technology. The two remaining first-floor gates will allow the airport to receive small electric and hybrid-electric airplanes from small community airports across the state with non-TSA screened passengers. The Yakima community values the travel connections and economic vitality their airport provides. This request will be combined with $10M federal funds to begin the first phases of design and construction, and will lay the ground work for future projects and funding as the airport works through subsequent phases of the project. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 4 Yakima County SIED Program 7 Indicate the Minimum Necessary Total Public Project Infrastructure Costs(no more than$1,000,000 total award from SIED when loan and grant combined): 375,000 SIED Loan Requested: $ 375,000 SIED Grant Requested: $ Please refer to section B1 below Local Match(20%of SIED request): $ 5,000,000 All Other Funding Sources: $ 5,750,000 Total Public Project Cost: $ Please refer to attached worksheet Total Private investment in Plant/Equipment:$ Total Jobs Created/Retained: Median Wage:$ Average Wage:$ Fringe Benefits Offered: Estimated Assessed Value of the New Plant/Equipment:$ Total SIED Request divided by Total Jobs Created/Retained:$ Total Private Investment in Plant/Equipment divided by Total SIED Request:$ Other Benefits of the Public Infrastructure Project: This project will develop a complete design for remaining phases of the project. The current working estimate for the completed project is$70M. This project will extend the useful life of the Yakima passenger terminal for several decades,and will integrate modern technologies that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Investment in this project also saves money compared to a brand new terminal. The project is a proof-of-concept for accommodating small all-electric and hybrid-electric air taxi aircraft. Aviation is transforming as new aviation aircraft are This project provides economic development in several ways; 1)It enables the return of passenger volumes to previous levels, and 2)positions the airport to obtain more destinations and air carriers;3)enables the revision of the passenger terminal to accommodate vendors, including shops and food establishments;4)will lead to the return of the airport restaurant, which will both restore a memorable gathering place sought by the public and provide additional revenue and economic impact to the region. 5)will lead to more jobs at the airport. 6)the construction for the passenger terminal modernization will produce both construction jobs and economic impact as a result of construction. Improving the economic impact the airport contributes to the community is a two-fold endeavor. It requires both expansion of air service and improvements/modernization of the terminal building. The city has$1 15M available to continue to add air service,and$5M available to complete the design for phased terminal construction projects. These two work hand-in-hand; more flights and larger planes, and a modernized and expanded terminal to accommodate them. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 5 Yakima County SIED Program 8 A. Public Sector Project Al. List all funding sources for the public project and amount Identify whether the amount has been provided or is being requested. Provide the status and date the funds were approved or the date that funds are expected to be approved: SOURCE STATUS DATE AMOUNT SIED loan requested 4/5/2024 $375,000.00 SIED grant requested 4/5/2024 $375,000.00 Total project costs $$70,000,000.00 Funding to complete the Public Project must be secured within one year of a SIED offer of financial aid A2. Will this project upgrade an existing public facility or build a new one? Upgrade Describe the entire public facility project, including the parts that you are not asking SIED to fund. This multi-phase project will transform the airport terminal. It will include a new roof over the second floor, and new space constructed above single-story areas of the building,and reconstructing/new parking. The improvements will include a new sterile area on the second floor, and moving TSA passenger screening and three gates upstairs,with jetways,escalators, and an elevator. On the lower floor,the baggage claim area will be expanded and a new baggage conveyor installed. The airline ticket counters will be rearranged to accommodate multiple airlines with direct conveyor of baggage to the TSA baggage screening area. The previous 1st floor sterile area will become open public space with shops, snack bar/cafe, and wine tasting/sales. On the upper level east end of the building the commercial kitchen renovation will be completed and a new airport restaurant/bar constructed with a view of the the runway. The lower level west side of the building currently houses TSA baggage screening and air cargo processing areas which will be expanded to accommodate an increased volume of baggage, and screening for larger air cargo. A3. Specifically, for what element(s)of the public project are SIED funds requested? These funds will match federal funds for design. To obtain funding for construction,the Federal Aviation Administration requires shovel-ready construction documents. This project will design phases 1 B, 2, and 3. It will deliver a cohesive design with complete and usable project phases ready for solicitation and permitting. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 6 Yakima County SIED Program 9 A4. Describe how the public facility project will enhance or encourage other development in the immediate area in addition to the direct development described in this application section C. This project will improve passenger flow in the building, eliminating crowding and lines at airline ticket counters, TSA screening, and baggage claim. It will also enable the establishment of shops,cafe/snack bars, and wine tasting on the ground floor,and the return of the landmark airport restaurant to the upper floor.All of these are benefits to the passenger, revenue for the airport, and jobs for the community. Air service is an economic engine for the community.A 2012 Aviation Economic Impact Study published by WSDOT determined 97%of Gross Business Income occurs within 10 miles of an airport, and 70%within five miles. Long term this project will add vibrancy to the community and economic vitality to the region.Access to air travel and air cargo shipping are staples of a strong business community. In addition to the robust offering of agricultural products,the airport hosts aerospace manufacturing businesses and the community benefits from manufacturing jobs.The airport terminal modernization is a powerful step towards raising the average wage and retaining local,young workers by providing broader career options with promotion and earnings potential.

City of Yakima Federal Aviation Administration Department of Homeland Security/TSA Please explain how completion of the project is coordinated between other involved parties. The City of Yakima has overall financial responsibility for the development,delivery, code compliance,and funding of the project. The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for ensuring compliance with airport development criteria and for administering and dispersing federal funds. The Transportation Security Administration is responsible for compliance with DHS criteria and requirements,and providing and installing unique security equipment. A9 Will the SIED public facility project be totally maintained by the applicant? If not, whom? Please explain. The airport administration staff has overall responsibility for the building envelope, building systems, and parking and roadways. Individual tenant improvements and maintenance are the responsibility of tenants. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 8 Yakima County S/ED Program 11 A10 How will this project impact utility rates and public services within the jurisdiction? This project is being conducted in concert with energy improvements. An independent energy audit was conducted consultant Veregy under the supervision of the airport's on-call consultant JUB. The audit determined many of the building systems(electrical,gas,telecom,fire suppression,etc.)are under-performing today's energy standards. The design will incorporate upgrades to these systems that will reduce consumption, and solar collectors and battery storage will be incorporated into construction as funding becomes available. The consultant team is pursuing federal and state grants tailored to these improvements. The goal of the project is at a minimum to remain on par with current consumption serving a larger square footage, but ultimately to reduce consumption and the carbon footprint of the facility. B. Financial Information of SIED Applicant B1. Other public sources of funding for public economic development projects are listed below and must be investigated. In addition to SIED, identify which public sources were considered to fund this project. Indicate what the outcome was.

The city of Yakima has contributed $125K funding and signed a$500k contract with Alaska Airlines to obtain a second set of flights to/from Seattle, and also has obtained and is contributing$700K USDOT Small community Air Service Development(SCASD)grant funds to expand air service. B2. In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIED assistance. If the applicant has budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project. In 2023 the City of Yakima implemented a 10%cut to the general fund and does not have the funds to support this project. The airport has benefited from and FAA ARPA grant(#3-53-0089-050-2022)to fund salaries. With increased revenue over the last year from a new airport-administered parking system, and increased landing fees,fuel flowage fees, and terminal tenant revenue from restoration of the second set of flights,the airport is approaching a revenue level to fully fund salaries and benefits, however there is no room in the budget for additional expenses. B3. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc.)that are eligible to repay a SIED loan. The city is not in a position to make loan payments,and the airport, as an enterprise fund is in a similar condition. The primary purpose of this project is to bolster the economic impact of the airport and increase revenue at the airport and across the region. Will a revenue stream be generated that could repay a SIED loan outside of the system's normal operations and maintenance costs? If yes, please explain: Ultimately the improvements are likely to provide a revenue stream that could potentially repay some of the requested amount. However, this request is to support design for three phases of construction. When operating a commercial facility undergoing construction, patronage can experience a downturn. The three phases of construction are likely to overlap and it is anticipated the airport terminal could be continuously under construction for up to five years after construction commences(estimated spring 2026) before meaningful revenue is recognized. B4. If the local jurisdiction is not financially contributing to the project, please explain why. The City of Yakima has contributed to expanding air service. Funds available for air service are$1,155,000, of which up to$500K are committed to the Alaska Airlines contract. We do not anticipate full payment of$500K will be required, given first quarter passenger volumes/route financial results. Remaining funds will be applied to an additional and air carrier.

Describe the private development that will be supported by the public infrastructure/facility project Horizon Air is the sole commercial air carrier operating out of Yakima Air Terminal. The company provides its own equipment for supporting passengers, baggage, and freight. As the terminal space is expanded and air service is increased, equipment additions and upgrades will be needed. C2. Explain why the private development requires the proposed public infrastructure improvements described in this application. The current state of the terminal is static; no meaningful changes. The modernization will expand the air cargo space and the baggage claim and baggage screening areas,which will necessitate equipment additions and up-gauging. However these improvements will not be needed until a larger facility and increased flight volumes and aircraft size occur.
