Through the FAA Airport Improvement Program Account, which will go towards the Richmond County Airport. The Richmond County Airport’s runway safety area needs to be extended to meet Federal Aviation Administration’s minimum requirements. This is a safety concern. The plans and engineering for this project have been completed. This airport is used by local industries to fly industry personnel in and out of Richmond County. Local pilots who fly for recreation also use the airport. Funding for this project will help meet local, state, and federal government aviation safety standards, and will also help spur economic development for an economically distressed area.
