Description

Also known as the Venice Municipal Airport, including runways and hangars, was constructed by the Civil Aeronautics Authority and the Works Progress Administration in 1935-1939. It remained a local airport until the 1950s, when the land was transferred to the school board for the construction of an educational complex.
