Charlotte County, FL (May 9, 2024) – The Charlotte County School District is thrilled to announce that it has received the support of U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-FL) for inclusion in his Fiscal Year 2025 Community Project Funding requests. Any potential funding will be allocated towards the proposed Aerospace Hangar construction project at Charlotte High School.

The $2 million request for the Aerospace Hangar project aims to launch two new programs: avionics systems and aviation assembly & fabrication. These programs will provide students with hands-on training and real-world experience in the field of aerospace, preparing them for rewarding careers in this high-demand industry.

"We are grateful to U.S. Representative Greg Steube for his support of our Aerospace Hangar construction project," said Superintendent Mark Vianello. "The potential funding will enable us to enhance our career and technical education programs, empowering our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the aerospace industry and to help build a talent pipeline that will support our local, regional, and state economy.”

The proposed Aerospace Hangar will be a state-of-the-art facility equipped with cutting-edge technology and resources to support experiential learning and skill development. By expanding the offerings within our career and technical education programs, the Charlotte County School District aims to provide all students with diverse pathways to success and meet the evolving needs of the workforce.

The Charlotte County School District extends its gratitude to U.S. Representative Greg Steube for his advocacy and support of this important initiative. With the community's backing, the district looks forward to bringing this transformative project to fruition and empowering students to pursue their passions and achieve their goals.
