MH Operations, which inhabits 20,000 square feet in a building owned by Flagler County, at the airport, is not producing its inventive hoses according to schedule and will contract its space down to 1,000 square feet, according to County Administrator Craig Coffey.

“They’re trying to get their first machine together,” Coffey said. He added that the operation is complex, with unique equipment still being coordinated from multiple states and countries.

The county is seeking tenants to rent the remaining space in the building. Coffey noted other success stories at the airport, including Enterprise Rent-A-Car expanding its rental space.

“The community doesn’t have much on the line,” Coffey said. “We’ve rented them a building, but we’re going to downsize them on that building and rent it out to other parties.”

The airport operates as an enterprise fund, meaning the activity pays for itself at the airport, from revenue generated by fuel sales and hangar rentals, etc. Property tax dollars are not at stake, Coffey said.

MH Operations was highlighted by the Palm Coast Observer in January, when it appeared the company would hire 83 people this year. Click here for that story.
