History of Immokalee Regional Airport
The Immokalee Regional Airport was originally a WWII bomber-training base. The Federal Surplus Act eventually turned the airport over to the county in the 1960s. For approximately thirty years, the airport sat dormant. Shortly after its creation in 1993, the Collier County Airport Authority drew up innovative plans for the site, including extensive designs to expand the runways, bring in cargo-carrying businesses, and turn some of the land into an industrial park.
Initial grants helped to build a fuel farm, a road, two hangars, a ramp, taxiway, and the first building. Over time, the original plans of the Authority have changed to suit the burgeoning airfield, but the long-term goals remained essentially the same: to turn the old airfield into a viable industrial park that would attract manufacturing businesses that will hire and train local workers, to bring in international cargo carriers and U.S. Customs officials, and to contribute new and vital industry to the local economy.
