a. CGC Runway 9/27 Extension – Draft EA with edits passed Orlando ADO and is with

Aviation Advisory Board · 2026-06-11 · agenda_item

The Citrus County Aviation Advisory Board is considering a project to extend Runway 9/27 at the Citrus County Airport. This project is currently under review, with a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) having passed the Orlando Airport District Office and now with their legal team. The projected completion date for this review is October 19th, 2026. Following legal review, the next step will be public outreach. This project will likely involve significant site work, including clearing, grading, and potentially utility relocation, followed by paving and construction related to the runway extension. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, paving, and heavy civil construction may find opportunities. Suppliers of construction materials and equipment will also be needed. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are set, could provide an advantage for businesses looking to secure work on this planned infrastructure improvement.
