FAA Indicates Strong Support for Airport Relocation

I had a chance to catch up with Airport Executive Director Randy Curtis recently, and he told me he had been in Washington, D.C. last week to meet with senior FAA officials about our airport relocation project.

Randy said he had a chance to meet with key officials in the FAA’s Airports Division. During the course of the meeting Randy said they expressed the FAA’s strong support for relocating our airport. Randy said the FAA really believes in this project and is going to work with our community to make it happen.

That’s good news for Panama City, Bay County and all Northwest Florida.
