23-033 General "Chappie" James Flight Academy Classroom Additions

This project consists of site improvements on city owned property on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. These improvements include the modification of a dry retention stormwater pond, sidewalk, lighting, landscaping, vertical construction of a new 1,835 sf addition and all associated utility and mechanical services for the building to house and expand the existing Flight Academy. This will also create a much-needed expansion for the existing museum and support services.

The proposed improvements will be built to meet all applicable standards and specifications of the City of Pensacola, Emerald Coast Utility Authority (ECUA), Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Coordination with existing utilities will be required for potential relocation.
