Highlands County is considering a license agreement with Avon Park Aeromodelers, Inc. to continue using approximately twenty-eight acres of county-owned property. This property, located at 730 CR 17A East in Avon Park, is currently vacant and a closed Class III landfill disposal cell. The agreement would allow the licensee to maintain its club office and operate a remote-control model aircraft flying field. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The project involves the ongoing use of an existing site, which may require site maintenance, potential upgrades to the club office, and general upkeep of the flying field. While no new construction is detailed, contractors specializing in site maintenance, landscaping, and general property upkeep could find opportunities. Reaching out to the county and the licensee early could provide insight into any future needs as the agreement is finalized.
