Heads Up Palm Beach County. Heard what’s happening in Hendry County?

The news below is from reporter Chris Felker at The Clewiston News headlined, “Design contract OK’d for Airglades cargo complex” with emphasis added:


CLEWISTON — Hendry County commissioners are accelerating the methodical process of developing Airglades Airport into a privately owned, international facility with an associated Perishable Air Cargo Complex (PACC). They approved a nearly $1 million contract Oct. 9, negotiated by staff with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly (CMT) of LaBelle for preliminary engineering and design studies that are expected to take six to eight months.

At the same time, they acknowledged that Airglades International Airport LLC’s plan has reached the point where staff now must prioritize preparations for the development, in order to process the Hendry Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code amendments and the rezoning that will be needed.
