Executive Summary
Recommendation that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA), reimburse a portion of the total landscaping cost to Global Flight Training Solution
(GFTS) for landscaping improvements at the Immokalee Regional Airport, in the amount of $36,764.
OBJECTIVE: To improve the landscaping at the Immokalee Regional Airport, consistent with the CRA’s goals to
strengthen the economic health of Immokalee. To support development at the Immokalee Regional Airport as an
economic development catalyst for the community. This project enhances commercial aesthetics, promotes business
development, and supports economic revitalization efforts within the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area.
CONSIDERATIONS: The project includes professional landscaping features such as tree and shrub plantings, green
space improvements, irrigation, decorative stonework and mulch, and minor signage and lighting upgrades. These
improvements not only satisfy Land Development Code (LDC) landscape requirements but also enhance the airport’s
overall visual appeal, reinforcing Immokalee’s image as a professional and growing aviation destination.
The landscaping improvements at the Immokalee Regional Airport have already been completed by Global Flight
Training Solutions (GFTS) as part of their facility expansion project. The proposed reimbursement represents a portion
of the total cost of these improvements, consistent with a prior commitment made by CRA leadership and airport
management to support the company’s investment in site beautification.
This item requests that the BCC acting as the CRA approve reimbursement to Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS)
in the amount of $36,764 for completed landscaping improvements at the Immokalee Regional Airport.
Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS) is an FAA Part 141–certified flight school based at Immokalee Regional
Airport. The school offers a full range of pilot training from private and instrument ratings through commercial and
multi-engine certification with specialized “Airline Compatible Roster” programs designed to simulate real airline
scheduling patterns and build practical flight hours efficiently. GFTS also supports both domestic and international
students with accommodations and a well-maintained fleet, underpinning its position as a key contributor to
Immokalee’s aviation sector.
This partnership with GFTS reflects a successful public private collaboration that supports economic development and
workforce training within the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area. The company’s expansion, including the
construction of two additional hangars, aligns with the CRA’s mission to promote business attraction and job creation.
During the October 29, 2025, Immokalee CRA Advisory Board meeting, staff and board members discussed the history
of this commitment. Former CRA leadership had agreed to incentivize GFTS for landscape enhancements that would
improve the appearance of the Immokalee Regional Airport and provide a more welcoming environment for students,
visitors, and business partners. Although the initial commitment was not finalized before leadership changes occurred,
staff recommended honoring the original intent.
The Advisory Board voted unanimously to approve reimbursement of up to $36,764 for these completed landscaping
improvements, recognizing that the airport itself is a County-owned facility and the enhancements benefits the broader
community.
This item is consistent Collier County’s Strategic Plan by supporting priorities for infrastructure enhancement, economic
growth, and community investment. These improvements complement ongoing County capital projects at the airport,
leveraging public and private investment to promote sustainability, strengthen community assets, enhance workforce
opportunities, and promote Immokalee as a key regional hub for aviation and commerce.
FISCAL IMPACT: Global Flight Training Solutions provided a total cost breakdown of $82,920.25 for Parcel B. The
CRA is requesting to reimburse a portion of that total for landscaping improvements in the amount of $36,764. Funding
for this request is available under the Immokalee CRA Capital Fund (1026) Economic Development Project (50264).

policies promoting redevelopment, infrastructure investment, and aesthetic enhancements that attract private investment
and improve the community’s overall economic vitality.

approval. -HFAC
