BACKGROUND:
The City recently completed Phase I of the State Road 40 frontage road that will improve access to both aviation and non-aviation development at Ocala International Airport. The project was funded with an 80 percent grant from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and was completed on schedule and under budget.
Phase II will extend the roadway east to SW 60th Avenue. Before that work can proceed, FDOT Stormwater Pond No. 3 must be relocated.
