Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

Palm Beach County is considering a Utility Easement Agreement with Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) for new hangar facilities at the Palm Beach International Airport. Atlantic Aviation - West Palm Beach, LLC, the lessee of the county-owned property, is completing construction of these new hangars. The proposed easement will allow FPL to install, operate, and maintain underground electric facilities, including cables, conduits, and a pad-mounted transformer, to serve the new hangars. This item is currently under review by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, with staff recommending approval. The project involves site preparation for underground utilities, installation of electrical conduits and equipment, and connection to the new hangar structures. Contractors specializing in underground utility work, electrical installation, and site preparation could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement may be beneficial as plans and permits are finalized.
