INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Apogee Air/Park Place Hangar Co., LLC was the successful proponent to an RFP offered by OC
Airports to lease approximately a 3-acre parcel of land in the SE corner of Oakland County

office complex on the site to operate a flight school, flight management, and charter
operations. They will be relocating from an existing hangar operator on the airport. The lease term
is thirty years at the published lease rate, which will generate $39,406.34 per year ($3,283.86 per

years thereafter.
