Naples Airport Authority to hold open houses Nov. 18 and 19 for master plan study

Naples Airport Authority invites the public to attend two upcoming open houses for its master plan study.

The first open house will take place Monday, Nov. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Naples Regional Library in the Rees Meeting Room, located at 650 Central Ave.

The second open house will take place Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Naples Airport Commercial Terminal, located at 500 Terminal Drive.

The master plan, last updated in 1997, will support Naples Airport Authority in achieving strategic goals and result in a plan for the continued safe, efficient and environmentally conscious airport facilities to meet the current and long-term transportation needs of the community. NAA requests all interested members of the public join them to review the final draft master plan study elements and provide feedback.

Naples Airport is ideally located within minutes of downtown Naples, the Gulf of Mexico and I-75, connecting people to the Paradise Coast through an exceptional airport experience. The airport serviced 112,800 annual operations in the last fiscal year, while being an engaged, responsive partner to the community. Home to flight schools, air charter operators, car rental agencies, and corporate aviation and non-aviation businesses, the airport is also a central location for public services, including fire/rescue services, mosquito control, the Collier County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit and other community services.

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 local tax dollars. The Florida Department of Transportation values the airport’s annual economic impact to the community at more than $440 million.
