Naples Airport Authority Master Plan Study Open House

All interested members of the public are encouraged to attend and provide feedback at two upcoming open houses hosted by the Naples Airport Authority to answer questions and provide information on the first working paper of the airport master plan study.

The first open house will be held Monday, April 30, 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Naples Regional Library in the Rees Meeting Room at 650 Central Ave.

The following day, Tuesday, May 1, 9-11 a.m., another open house will be held at the airport’s Commercial Terminal at 500 Terminal Drive.

The primary goal of the master plan update is to create a 20-year airport development plan to maintain a safe, efficient and environmentally conscious airport facility for the community. The master plan was last updated in 1997. To achieve this goal, it is essential for NAA to receive feedback from interested members of the community.

More information about the master plan is available online at www.flynaples.com/masterplan.

Naples Airport is home to flight schools, air charter operators, car rental agencies, and corporate aviation and nonaviation businesses, as well as fire/rescue services, mosquito control, the Collier County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit and other community services. During the 2016-17 fiscal year, the airport accommodated 95,018 takeoffs and landings.

All funds used for the airport’s operation, maintenance and improvements are generated from activities at the airport or federal and state grants from aviation-related user fees; the airport receives no property tax dollars. The Florida Department of Transportation values the airport’s annual economic impact to the community at $283.5 million.
