Charlotte Technical College is continuing construction on its Aviation Training Facility, a center that will provide hands-on education for future aviation maintenance professionals. Located within the PGD Aviation Expansion Area at Punta Gorda Airport, CTC officials said all necessary permits were secured by the Charlotte County Airport Authority. The foundation was poured, and contractors are currently completing underground rough-in. Sitework is ongoing, and the slab for the next construction phase is scheduled to be poured within the next week. The 19,420-square-foot building will include a 10,000-square-foot hangar, modern classrooms and advanced labs, allowing students to train with industry-standard equipment and expert instruction. Construction, led by Stellar Development Inc., remains on schedule for completion by December 2025.
