Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport

sept__aerial_4_450

 

The FAA delivered its final Record of Decision on September 15, 2006, approving recommendation to move the current Panama City-Bay County Interna­tional Airport to a 4,000-acre site at West Bay. Estimat­ed construction time for the new airport is 30 months.  This project is of major interest across the nation and around the world. It will be the first airport built in the United States in almost 20 years, as well as the first airport to be built since 9/11.  Homeland Security will be testing new security measures here, and tech companies from around the world are seeing this as somewhat of a test lab for new technology. The longer runway will open the area to Latin American markets for cargo operations and attract other busi­nesses and industry to our area.  There is industrial and commercial space already incorporated in the design of the airport, so the potential to attract high-end, technical industry and research and development is assured.

Green Terminal   

The Airport Authority has committed that the new airport terminal will be certified "green" under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program of the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEEDS program is a voluntary certification program that defines high-performance buildings which are more environmentally responsible.
