Mica Announces FAA Grant for Flagler Airport

Washington, DC - Congressman John L. Mica (FL-07) announced today that the Flagler County Airport was awarded a nearly $600,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

"The FAA grant to the Flagler County Airport in Palm Coast will be used to relocate and extend a runway at the facility," Mica said. "This project will better accommodate aircraft, improve safety and improve our transportation infrastructure, a critical economic driver."

The relocation and extension of runway 11/29 allows for growth, expansion and enhancement of general airport operations, including the ability to have corporate hangers and tie-downs. This federal funding, in addition to state and local contributions, will allow for the completion of the design phase of the project.
