In the shadow of a $300,000 proposed budget shortfall for the Flagler County Airport, County Administrator Craig Coffey informed the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners that MH Operations, the inventive microhose company that once occupied 20,000 square feet of airport space, has been told to vacate.
In January, the company announced plans to hire 83 employees locally.
In May, its operations at the airport were scaled down to 1,000 square feet.
“They haven’t been paying rent,” Coffey explained.
Coffey said that a new lease will be proposed to the board soon, for another, more established business to move into the space.
“We know we have a cashflow problem,” he told the board. But restructuring plans are in the works.
“We’ve got to figure out a way to generate revenue, to keep this airport functioning,” County Commissioner Milissa Holland said.
Details on the new lease will be presented to the board by staff at a future regular meeting.
