Martin County to build $73 million operations facility due to FAA requirements
What happened
Martin County commissioners approved a $73 million operations facility designed to consolidate several county departments into one location. This project is required because Federal Aviation Administration requirements mandate the relocation of departments currently operating in aging buildings on airport property. The new facility will accommodate departments responsible for environmental resources, mosquito control, parks and recreation, and vehicular maintenance.
