Clear Skies and New Heights: New Development Projects to Enhance Airport Facilities Underway

Following the recent completion of an $11.5 million reconstruction of Taxiway Delta, Kissimmee Gateway Airport is advancing several major infrastructure and aviation-related projects, including the design of a $1.2 million FAA- and FDOT-funded reconstruction of Taxiway Alpha, which parallels Runway 15/33 and improves safety and efficiency. 

The new $18 million air traffic control tower design is under review through the City of Kissimmee’s Design Review Committee, with construction to be funded by aviation fuel excise tax–supported FAA and FDOT grants and airport-generated matching funds, requiring no city tax dollars.
