Tower placement, need, safety and planning for future development of the airport were all cited as reasons for awarding the recognition.
The tower project was funded by DOT for $2.4 million and $600,000 was provided for construction from revenues the Airport receives from leases, fuel sales and other sources.

Palm Coast Flagler County Airport Has the Cheapest Fuel
The reduced fuel cost is part of an operation strategy of the County Airport.
“While this may be a challenging economic climate,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said, “we think that supporting our existing businesses and encouraging new business can ultimately enhance our bottom-line and create more excitement at the airport.”
Over the past few months the County has been implementing several measures to stimulate air traffic, such as reduced fuel prices on the weekend, volume discounts for Jet A fuel, and an annual air show.
Airport Director Roy Sieger says:
“ Effective July 1, 2010, the self service Avgas fuel price will be at an all time low at $3.58 for self serve Avgas. Even with the reduction in fuel cost, it is our goal to continue to deliver a high level of service to all of our customers.”
The price may vary in with subsequent deliveries of fuel.
The Flagler County Airport is a county-owned, public use, general aviation (GA) airport that is operated and maintained under the direction of the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners.
