BACKGROUND:
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) reached out to Airport Staff requesting property for use as a temporary basecamp to help the community rapidly recover from various disasters. Staff located approximately 12 acres with good road access and flat terrain that would meet FDOT’s requirements.
