In anticipation of commercial air service at Florida Keys Marathon Airport, which is scheduled to begin

16' to erect a kiosk to serve as a Welcome Center for the arriving passengers. They will have staff from the
Chamber manning the kiosk; they intend to meet each arriving flight and will have a computer on site to assist
visitors with hotel and attraction reservations, and answer any questions about the area.
The Greater Marathon Chamber of Commerce assisted with fundraising efforts for local contributions

Grant funds. They have requested to occupy the space at no cost for one year, on a month-to-month basis,
effective February 1,2007.
