Summary

Citrus County marked the groundbreaking for phase 2 of the Inverness Airport Business Park, including the county’s first corporate hangar; Livewire Aviation said it will build a hangar and employ pilots, mechanics and related staff under an FAA Part 133 certificate.

Citrus County officials and industry representatives celebrated a groundbreaking for phase 2 of the Inverness Airport Business Park, highlighting plans for the county’s first corporate hangar and a proposed heliPlex aimed at expanding rotary‑wing aviation operations in the region.

"We're happy to be here today, standing with you as we break ground on phase 2 of the Inverness Airport Business Park," host Steve Howard said on the program. A Livewire Aviation representative described the company’s operations and certifications, saying Livewire "specialize[s] in precision aerial utility and infrastructure work" and operates under an FAA Part 133 certificate.

Speakers framed the development as an economic strategy to create "hands on careers that keep skilled work alive" — naming pilots, A&P mechanics, groundmen, fuel‑truck drivers, fabricators and aerial linemen as anticipated local jobs. County representatives said the heliplex is intended to position the county regionally for rotary‑wing markets and to bring higher‑paying skilled work to local residents.

The segment presented the project as a job‑creation initiative; it did not provide a construction timeline, projected job counts, or details on public incentives or permits.
