BOCA RATON TO INCREASE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC WITH OWN U.S. CUSTOMS AREA
Boca Raton’s cache grew a little larger with the news that it would soon be getting its own U.S. Customs inspection area at the Boca Raton airport. This means that Boca Raton business travelers and residents who fly internationally had to go one of the other area airports before being allowed to Boca. No longer once this is built, which could be anywhere from 2016 to 2018. That depends on who contributes what to the total $3 million dollar cost. The idea of building the customs area in Boca had been discussed for years. I wonder why it finally came to pass? The idea is that it makes the area more attractive to companies who fly internationally, so they might want to set up offices here. It also makes the area more appealing to high net worth individuals who might want to buy a home here. I think it will accomplish both, and it certainly sets the city apart from other highly desirable places in the county like Palm Beach, Wellington Palm Beach Gardens, etc. Finally, safety was even mentioned as a benefit since most accidents take place when planes are taking off or landing. This will reduce the need for flights to have to stop elsewhere for customs, reducing the total amount of flights. This just makes Boca Raton an even more attractive place for people to live and work, which is all good. I think my house just increased in value? As always, thanks for reading and have a great day.
