Summary

Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the Lee County Port Authority to release 1.08 (+/−) acres of federally obligated airport property at the Southwest Florida International Airport, Fort Myers, FL. This acreage was acquired with federal financial assistance via Airport Improvement Program Federal Grants. The release of property will allow the Lee County Port Authority to dispose of the property for non-aeronautical purposes.

Dates

Comments must be received on or before March 19, 2026.

Supplementary Information

The property is located on Treeline Avenue South in Fort Myers, FL and is currently developed as a four-lane divided arterial roadway with curb and gutter, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes. The anticipated use of the property will be to provide access to and from the Terminal Access Park. The parcel is currently depicted on the approved Airport Layout Plan as a non-aeronautical land use. The property will be released of its federal obligations given the land is no longer required by the Lee County Port Authority for aeronautical purposes. The property will be sold at the Fair Market Value (FMV) which has been determined to be $470,448. Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to the “waiver” or “modification” of a sponsor's Federal obligation to use certain airport land for non-aeronautical purposes. Authority for the Policy: This notice is published under the authority described in Title 49 of the United States Code, Subtitle VII, part B, chapter 471, Section 47107(h)(2). Issued in Orlando, FL on January 21, 2026. Juan C. Brown, Manager, Orlando Airports District Office. [FR Doc. 2026-02995 Filed 2-13-26; 8:45 am]
