Construct terminal

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Southern Region, awarded County Of Marion a Project Grant of $260,616.84 on September 19, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support infrastructure development at Mullins Airport in South Carolina. This grant funds Phase 1 of a terminal construction project, which consists of conducting an environmental assessment necessary for the development of a new 10,000 square foot terminal and apron facility. The environmental assessment is a prerequisite requirement under the Airport Improvement Program that must be completed before proceeding with airport infrastructure expansion.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 18, 2029, and will ultimately benefit the airport operations and cargo capacity serving Marion County. Upon completion of the environmental assessment, the findings will inform the subsequent phases of terminal and apron construction, enabling the airport to accommodate increased aircraft operations and cargo handling capabilities. County Of Marion, as a state government entity with an established history of receiving FAA infrastructure grants, will maintain required documentation and grant compliance throughout the project period.
