Whalen, Deputy Commissioner DEW August 1, 2024 RESOLUTION REQUEST - AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING LEASE (Contract #23-0609-12/38-AV) BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND POU DEVELOPMENT LLC (Sky Harbour Group) TO PRIMARILY EXTEND THE TERM YEARS FROM 15 YEARSTO 40 YEARS. Please find attached a Resolution Request form and Fiscal Impact Statement regarding the execution of a needed lease amendment between POU Development LLC (Sky Harbour Group) and Dutchess County A previous resolution for a required public hearing on this matter is on the agenda for the August DC Legislature meeting. In December of 2023, the County Executive executed a 15-year ground lease with POU Development LLC, with their parent company being Sky Harbour Group (SHG). SHG is completing their due diligence phase of the 15-year lease (end of September 2024) and before construction begins, an extension to 40 years is both desired and needed. Due to Local Law #6 of 2015, any on-airport lease over 15 years needs Legislative approval. To provide contextual information, SHG is an aviation infrastructure development company building the first nationwide network of Home-Basing Solutions ("HBS") for business aircraft. Sky Harbour develops, leases and manages general aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in the largest growth markets with significant aircraft populations and high hangar demand. SHG has strong confidence that the County's Hudson Valley Regional Airport is positioned well and can be successfully marketed to attract based business jet aircraft due to other regional airports, such as Westchester County/White Plains and Teterboro (NJ) airports, being increasingly crowded or pricing not cost effective for customers. SHG has existing hangars under ground leases in Miami (FL), Nashville (TN), Denver (CO) and Houston (TX) amongst others. Sky Harbour has ground lease agreements in formation at other northeast airports such as Stewart/Newburgh and Bradiey (CT).
