washington business Jeffrey Bishop, chief executive at the Port of Moses Lake, which operates Grant County International Airport, and Moses Lake Port Commissioner Darrin Jackson were two of the trip’s participants. Their goal was to raise awareness of the need for infrastructure investments, particularly in rural parts of the nation. The group also discussed the need for policies that improve the climate for business investment and growth, such as the tax reform measure that was being debated while the group was in town and stabilizing the health insurance market. The 2018 AWB D.C. Fly-in will take place this December.
