Dorchester Council Approves FAA Grant Application for Airport Runway Survey with 10% Match
Summary
The County Council authorized submission of an FAA grant application for a runway rehabilitation topographical survey totaling $98,350 with a proposed 10% local match from the FY25 capital budget; the Council also confirmed a prior interim poll (4–0) approving preliminary joint federal/state wetland/floodplain paperwork required before grant submission.
The Dorchester County Council approved Airport Director Steve Nuwer's request to submit a Federal Aviation Administration grant application to fund an Airport Runway Rehab Topographical Survey totaling $98,350. The application specifies a 10% local match the Council proposed to cover with FY25 capital budget funds and lists a tentative project end date of December 27, 2024.
Council minutes also confirm an interim poll (reported as a 4–0 vote) that authorized a joint federal/state application required by the FAA for alteration of floodplain, waterway or wetland resources prior to formal grant submission. The poll covered administrative prerequisite paperwork; the topographical survey grant application itself was then approved in open session for submission.
The minutes do not include a detailed engineering scope in the published summary; the Airport Director is scheduled to present the topographical survey proposal and related contract details to the Council in a future meeting.
