The City of Palatka is planning to apply for a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant to fund improvements at the local airport. This grant application, for $242,538, is for the construction of a transient aircraft parking apron. The City Manager is authorized to execute this application. This item is currently under review as the city seeks this funding. If approved, the project would involve site preparation and grading, followed by the installation of concrete or asphalt for the apron. This could create opportunities for general contractors, site preparation and grading services, concrete suppliers, and heavy equipment rental companies. Reaching out to the city early could provide valuable insight into the project's timeline and specific needs before formal bidding processes begin.
