Palm Beach County Deserves a Voice Before Any Airport Renaming

West Palm Beach, FL — Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement in response to the Florida State Senate’s passage of a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.

“It’s misguided and unfair that the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature ignored the voices of Palm Beach County by pushing forward a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport without giving County residents a real opportunity for input,” said Rep. Frankel. “Decisions about naming major infrastructure should wait until after an honoree’s service has concluded—and should include meaningful input from the local residents and communities most directly affected.”
