INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS
A County Investing in Its Future
Hernando County is making strategic, forward-looking infrastructure investments that are reshaping how and where growth occurs. These investments are not isolated projects. They are part of a broader vision to enhance connectivity, unlock new development areas, and position the county for long-term economic success. From transportation corridors to utility expansion, the county is actively preparing sites and systems to support business recruitment, expansion, and job creation at scale.
Expanding Transportation Corridors
A key component of this strategy is the continued investment in roadway infrastructure that improves regional access and mobility. Enhancements to major corridors, roadway improvements and new connections to regional highways, are reducing travel times and increasing the efficiency of moving goods and people. These improvements are opening up previously underutilized areas of the county, creating new opportunities for industrial, logistics, and commercial development in locations that are now more accessible than ever before.
Brooksville – Tampa Bay Regional Airport (BKV) Enhancements
At the center of Hernando County’s infrastructure momentum is the continued investment in the Brooksville – Tampa Bay Regional Airport (BKV). Ongoing and planned improvements, including runway enhancements, taxiway extensions, and airfield infrastructure upgrades are positioning the airport as a premier location for aviation and aerospace investment. These projects are not only enhancing operational capacity but are also unlocking new development-ready parcels with direct taxiway access, allowing companies to seamlessly integrate their operations with the airfield.

Infrastructure investment in Hernando County also extends to utilities, ensuring that water, wastewater, electric, and broadband systems are in place to support new and expanding businesses. The county has committed significant resources toward utility expansion and capacity improvements, bringing critical services directly to key development areas. This focus on site readiness reduces risk and accelerates timelines for companies, allowing projects to move from concept to construction with greater speed and certainty.

Together, these infrastructure investments are transforming Hernando County into a more competitive and business-ready environment. With hundreds of acres of land being opened or enhanced through these efforts, companies have access to sites that are not only strategically located but also supported by modern infrastructure. Whether a business requires proximity to major transportation routes, access to aviation assets, or fully served industrial sites, the county is actively building the foundation needed to support success.
