“We relocated to Hernando County more than 14 years ago, and since then our company has experienced tremendous growth. The support we've received from the County has been instrumental to that success. As our MRO business expanded from occupying multiple hangars to constructing our own 65,000-square-foot, taxiway-facing facility, the Airport and Office of Economic Development have been outstanding partners every step of the way. Their responsiveness, accessibility, and commitment to helping businesses grow have made expansion both efficient and seamless. Just as important, Hernando County offers the space and long-term vision to support our future. With additional facilities already planned, we look forward to continuing our investment and success here for many years to come.”

– Virgil D. Pizer, Chief Executive Officer

“Flightpath Aviation Services grew from a one-person startup to a global leader in Cessna Citation support, thanks to the business-friendly environment and partnership of the Brooksville–Tampa Bay Regional Airport and Hernando County, who have supported our growth, including their current 25,000-square-foot facility expansion.”

– Jeffrey D. Smith, President

“Since relocating to Hernando County in 2006, we've expanded our operations twice because this community has consistently proven to be a great place to do business. From our first warehouse expansion to our newest rail-served manufacturing facility, the County's commitment to efficient permitting, open communication, and business-friendly leadership has helped us keep projects on schedule and our company growing, now to nearly 500,000 square feet in total. The EPIC Program has delivered exactly what growing manufacturers need—speed, responsiveness, and accountability. The partnership we've experienced with County Administration, the Office of Economic Development, and the Airport has exceeded our expectations. Hernando County continues to be an outstanding place to invest, expand, and succeed.”
