Destin Airport to get upgraded security fencing and lighting
Okaloosa County Commission accepted a $1,045 bid to install new fencing and a gate near the apron at Destin Airport. The apron fencing will rise from four to six feet and the gate will be locked after hours. Lighting around the aircraft apron and terminal will be improved to boost security. County Commissioner Mike Mitchell urged an archaeological review of Clement Taylor Park before planned improvements, proposing New World Research conduct the site assessment to prevent disturbance of potential artifacts.
