Clearwater Airpark Gains Approval
The Clearwater City Council approved the plans by Paradise Ventures and FlyUSA to build Clearwater Airpark. Paradise Ventures and FlyUSA will become the fixed base operator of the improved airpark. A new state of the art terminal would be the center piece of Clearwater Airpark. A development partnership between Paradise Ventures and FlyUSA proposed improvements to the airpark. The plans would add 40,000 square feet of new hangar space and the establishment of FlyUSA’s headquarters. In June 2022 the City of Clearwater solicited proposals to enter into a 30-year lease agreement to renovate and manage the airpark, which is 80 years old and is the home of the Tampa Bay Flight School, Vertical Flight and Tampa Bay Aviation. Paradise Ventures and FLyUSA earned the highest ranking of the proposals. FlyUSA and Paradise Ventures will meet with the Florida Department of Transportation and other stakeholders later this week.
