Crestview Technology Air Park (CTAP) is a 20 acre privately owned tract of Crestview real estate situated at the end of the 8,000 foot runway of Bob Sikes Airport. With special tax incentives and located strategically within the Okaloosa County Enterprise Zone, CTAP holds great promise for the creation of 500-600 high technology jobs within the industries of Aviation, Aerospace, Defense, and National Security in Northwest Florida.

The CTAP vision is to expand the existing campus and hangar facilities to suit the needs of a

high tech industry employer through the development of two impressively appointed hangars

and a three story research and development center.

CTAP MASTER PLAN

 

The CTAP Master Plan allows for construction of both an 80,000 and 40,000 sq. foot hangar with access to runway and industrial support facilities. Possessing the only privately owned hangar of this size in Northwest Florida, CTAP could accommodate any airplane in the U.S. military fleet including the C-130 and C-17.

PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AEROSPACE
AND TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN SOLUTIONS!

 

As a central objective, CTAP can support high tech workforce training and open channels for learning of new technologies among area students. As Northwest Florida is a region ripe for expanded exploration and testing of technological innovations, the owners of CTAP are committed to cultivating the incubation of new ideas. Through partnerships with local education providers, CTAP has the opportunity to accelerate local applications of robotics, UAV’s, and other agribusiness technologies.
