Releases Resolution Proclaiming the Value of General
Aviation
The city of Riverside, OH has declared November, 2010 to be
"General Aviation Appreciation Month" in a resolution passed by the
City Council. The resolution states that general aviation is a
"strategic resource for the community" and plays a critical role in
the lives of the residents of Riverside, which is just northeast of
Dayton. The National Aviation Hall of Fame, located in Riverside,
is a landmark for the impact the aviation industry has on not only
the state of Ohio, but the entire nation.
Riverside, OH Deputy Mayor Edward W. Schock stated, "The City of
Riverside is very fortunate to be the gateway to the National
Museum of the United States Air Force, which is the home of the
National Aviation Hall of Fame. By introducing this
resolution to the City Council, I wanted to portray the importance
of aviation across America, this would be done by declaring the
month of November 'General Aviation Appreciation Month.' This is
our effort to support airports and aero-clubs in America."
In a news release Monday, the Alliance for Aviation Across America
(AAAA) praised the move. "We applaud the city of Riverside for
their efforts in recognizing this vital industry," said Selena
Shilad, Executive Director of the Alliance for Aviation Across
America. "Riverside illustrates the vast impact general aviation
has on towns and communities across Ohio. General aviation in Ohio
alone contributes $5.56 billion to the state's economy and puts
over 17,000 Ohioans to work. The City of Riverside's proclamation
is a shining example of a community that realizes the value of this
industry and we applaud their efforts in highlighting the impact of
this vital industry."
