Sebring Airport Awarded $2.1 Million for Infrastructure Improvements

Governor DeSantis

We’re excited to share that Sebring Airport Authority has been awarded $2.1 million through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to support critical infrastructure improvements at the airport. The announcement was made by Governor Ron DeSantis during a press conference on April 23 at Indian River State College’s Eastman Advanced Workforce Training Complex in Fort Pierce.

This funding is part of the state’s ongoing commitment to job creation and economic development, helping airports like Sebring enhance operations and support future growth opportunities. The grant will allow us to advance key projects that strengthen our role as a regional transportation hub and economic driver for Highlands County.

Governor DeSantis also announced additional workforce development grants at the event, including:

  • $4 million to Indian River State College for the Institute for Industrial Manufacturing and Production Training
  • $4.9 million to Miami Dade College to launch aircraft mechanic training programs
  • $3.5 million to Opportunity Park in Wakulla County for new county-owned buildings

Sebring Airport remains committed to providing the infrastructure and services needed to support aviation, business development, and job creation for our community. We’re grateful to the state of Florida for recognizing the importance of continued investment in our region.

Stay tuned for updates as these infrastructure projects move forward.
