BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
In 2022, the BOCC approved an Assignment of Lease to Daher Aerospace, Inc. (Daher) for the remaining portion of a 30-year lease the County entered into in 1994 with Grumman Aerospace Corporation for premises at Martin County Airport/Witham Field (MCA). With the lease set to expire in 2024, the County issued Request for Proposal 2024-3552 for the premises. Daher was one of the respondents to Request for Proposal 2024-3552 and was eventually awarded a new lease to run for a term of ten years, with two ten-year extensions. Daher's previously assigned lease was set to expire on June 29, 2024 and the BOCC approved a four-month extension to allow adequate time for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review Daher's proposed new lease and make any comments thereon. The County, via its aviation counsel, informed the FAA that the proposed lease would be submitted to the BOCC without the FAA's input in the event a response was not received before September 1, 2024. The FAA, however, has not yet responded and the four-month extension expires October 31, 2024.
