Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $164,195.79 to the County of Lexington on August 26, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support the update of an existing airport master plan study. The project will be completed by August 25, 2029, and represents a portion of the total project cost, with the remaining eligible expenses funded through an associated Airport Improvement Program grant. This master planning grant will provide federal funding to support infrastructure and operational planning for airports serving the Pelicon, South Carolina area.

Master planning studies under the Airport Improvement Program are foundational planning documents that guide long-term airport development, modernization, and maintenance activities. The deliverables from this grant will include updated planning analyses, capital improvement recommendations, and strategic infrastructure assessments that support the FAA's objectives of safety, operational excellence, and sustainable airport system development. As a planning and development project, the County of Lexington is required to maintain detailed accounting records, submit periodic progress reports to the FAA, and retain all project documentation for three years following final expenditure reporting.
