CITRUS COUNTY, FL – The future of investment in Citrus County appears to be taking off, with the local airports playing a crucial role. According to recent reports, the Citrus County Board of Commissioners is exploring ways to enhance and expand the airports in the area, which could potentially bring in new businesses and revenue streams.
The county has two airports: the Citrus County Airport (CKW) in Inverness and the Withamsville Airport (WMS). Both airports serve as critical infrastructure for the local community, providing general aviation services and supporting economic development. The proposed upgrades and expansions could include new hangars, improved runways, and enhanced safety features.

County officials believe that by improving the airports, they can attract new businesses, create jobs, and increase tourism. The county is also exploring other initiatives, such as infrastructure improvements and business incentives, to support economic development.
“We are excited about the potential for growth and development in Citrus County,” said Commissioner Pamela M. Brangers. “Our airports are a critical part of that effort, and we are committed to making the necessary investments to ensure they continue to thrive.”
The Citrus County Airport in Inverness is a key player in the county’s economic development strategy. The airport serves as a hub for general aviation and is home to a number of aircraft maintenance and repair businesses. The proposed upgrades to the airport could include a new terminal building and improved fueling facilities.
