It will also be his last.

Tucked away on Page 167 of the packet for Tuesday’s meeting of the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority is a notice that national executive search firm Korn Ferry has been selected to search for Piccolo’s replacement. The document also reads that Piccolo will transition into the role of advisor until Dec. 31, 2025, at which time he will retire.
