With picture-perfect weather and several plane take-offs for atmosphere, Winter Haven dedicated its new state-of-the-art municipal airport terminal today — December 9, 2008. The 13,500 square foot facility includes a beautiful Richard’s Fine Coffees Deli and Cafe, two conference rooms, pilot lounge and other amenities. The terminal is designed to meet the city’s airport needs for the next 20 years.
Following a ribbon cutting ceremony that involved an actual propeller (without the plane) guests were toured through the facility. Among the goals the city has for the new improved facilities is taking advantage of airport-related economic development opportunities.
Mayor Yvonne Brooks expressed the city’s pride in the upgraded terminal and flightline. You’re invited to visit the cafe and see first hand the handsome new building. The restaurant also features an outdoor seating area so bring the family and take a close look at the future.
