Re: RESOLUTION REQUEST - TO SET A REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE
AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING LEASE (Contract
#23-0609-12/38-AV) BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND POU DEVELOPMENT LLC (Sky
Harbour Group) THAT WILL EXTEND THE TERM YEARS FROM 15 YEARSTO 40 YEARS
Please find attached a Resolution Request form and Fiscal Impact Statement regarding setting a public
hearing for a needed lease amendment between POU Development LLC (Sky Harbour Group) and
Dutchess County.
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 is 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 Bradley (CT).
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.
