Runway Extension Error Sparks Destin Plan Review
Destin officials say a 1000 foot runway extension was wrongly included in the Metro planning plan. It’s not in Okaloosa County’s master plan, or Florida’s five year program, or FAA plans. The MPO moved to remove it from the DOT plan. DOT cannot fund without FAA approval and county master plan listing.
