County official announces $3.85 million runway extension grant from senator’s office
Summary
A county official who serves as vice chairman of the airport authority said the county has been awarded $3,850,000 (via Sen. Katie Britt’s office) to extend the runway; he said the runway project could affect planned road work and that the county may defer full reclamation of the nearby road until airport plans are finalized.
An elected official who said he serves as the vice chairman of the airport authority announced that Sen. Katie Britt’s office had secured a $3,850,000 award to extend the county airport runway.
The official told the commission the grant award will allow runway extension work to proceed once the necessary paperwork is complete and suggested this could change nearby road plans. "We've been awarded $3,850,000 to finish extension on the runway," he said, adding that the county may need to revise or delay full reclamation or other road work near the airport until the runway project scope is finalized.
Commissioners noted the potential for scope changes and agreed to factor the runway project into road planning and budgeting discussions going forward.
