Body
SUMMARY:
FDOT JPA Agreement G0H27 provides for an 80% grant for conducting an airport master plan study at the Clearwater Airpark, with the City providing a 20% match. An airport master plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and usually describes the short-, medium-, and long-term development plans to meet future aviation demand. The goal of a master plan is to provide the framework needed to guide future airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. The Federal Aviation Administration and FDOT strongly recommend the airport master plan to be updated periodically to stay in compliance with grant requirements.
The project cost is estimated at $100,000.00 with the Florida Department of Transportation contributing $80,000.00 and the City providing a $20,000.00 match.
