BACKGROUND:
The Ocala International Airport's existing T-hangar campus is at capacity and unable to accommodate the 40+ people on its waiting list. The Airport proposes to extend a road from near the intersection of SW 67th Ave and SR 40 through the northern section of the airport to provide access to Taxiway B and ultimately Runway 08/26. This road will provide development opportunities to include T-hangars, private hangars, and other aviation and non-aviation businesses.
This supplemental grant will augment the existing grant funding for the design and construction of approximately 3,100 feet of road and associated utilities.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The project is consistent with the Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan.
24% of Airport revenue is derived from its T-hangar campus.
The Airport Advisory Board supports this project.

FDOT Grant: $500,000 341-050-743-542-69-65010
