Richmond Hill-Bryan County Airport Authority

Airport Authority Advances General Aviation Planning

The authority continued planning for a proposed 6,700-foot general aviation airport at Site 5 near Belfast and Highway 17. Georgia Tech is analyzing local tax revenues, while an environmental assessment and a regional study are planned or underway. The proposed funding structure would rely on a 90% federal match, 5% state funding, and a 5% authority share, plus potentially unmatched costs.
