Re: Cashiers Canoe Club
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
On behalf of the Cashiers Area Chamber Board of Directors, please accept our organization's
endorsement of the application of Cashiers Canoe Club Development, LLC for the authorization
of environmental improvements associated with the Cashiers Lake Dredge and Development
Project in Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina.
It is our opinion that this proposed activity is wholly in the public's interest as the lake has
deteriorated over the decades, inhibiting sustainability, responsible economic growth and
recreational enjoyment in its vicinity. This proposal should allow for significant improvement and
mitigation of the current adverse conditions with full consideration and safeguarding of the
environment.
This project also will significantly benefit the $200M+ per year tourism industry in this rural
Western North Carolina county and is consistent with a regional hospitality strategy to expand
accommodation options while enhancing and featuring natural assets in the area.
We urge a favorable assessment of this application.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
S''ncerely, t
Mary LannPresident
