Lee County - Tuesday July 19, 2022: The Lee County Port Authority has received a $4.2 million grant from the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to rehabilitate Chamberlin Parkway at Southwest Florida International Airport.
Governor DeSantis made the announcement Tuesday
The project will improve travelers’ access to terminals and increase access to commercial development sites on the north side of the airport, which serves as a base for airline cargo, air shipping, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities, and the airport’s Fixed Base Operator (FBO).
The Florida Job Growth Grant Fund is an economic development program designed to promote public infrastructure and workforce training across the state. Proposals are reviewed by DEO and Enterprise Florida, Inc., and are chosen by Governor DeSantis to meet the demands for workforce training or infrastructure needs in communities around the state.
“These investments support future growth for Florida communities and create new opportunities for residents," said the Governor.
DEO and EFI are currently accepting proposals until all funding has been awarded.
