BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2023, the City of Ocala (City) approved Resolution 2024-1, allocating a $324,017 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant (FM#453812-1-94-01) for an environmental assessment of Taxiway C (TWY-C) at Ocala International Airport (OCF). The environmental assessment was required for the development of a proposed multi-use aviation facility. When the developer defaulted on the contract and the lease was terminated, the environmental study was deemed unnecessary.
On March 18, 2025, the City approved Resolution 2025-15, changing the scope of the project to include the design of TWY-C. This scope change requires the expiration date of the grant to be extended another year to June 1, 2026, and is accomplished through this proposed Amendment No. 2.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
* The project aligns with the 2013 Ocala International Airport (OCF) Master Plan.
* The Airport Advisory Board supports the Taxiway C (TWY-C) project and associated development.
