Okaloosa Regional Airport is currently undergoing a major expansion program, which will include a new taxiway, expanded aircraft parking apron, additional public parking and renovation and expansion of the Terminal facilities. The completion date for the above is December 2002 and will provide the Airport patron expanded services and a more convenient way to travel to and from the Airport. The Airport's trade area is heavily oriented toward the important defense weapon system development and test and evaluation mission at Eglin AFB, the world's largest military reservation. Together with Hurlburt Field, home of Air Force Special Operations Command, Eglin AFB is the area's largest employer.
Tourism also is one of the most important contributors to the region's economy.
