SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA is reviewing a request to release 13.254 acres of surplus property at the Greenwood County Airport (GRD) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47151(d).

On May 2, 2018, Greenwood County requested the FAA release of 13.254 acres of surplus property for commercial/industrial development. The FAA has determined that the proposed property release at Greenwood County Airport (GRD), as submitted by Greenwood County, meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and release of the property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this notice. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project for aviation facilities at the Greenwood County Airport.

Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be related to the application in person at the Greenwood County Airport.

Issued in Atlanta, GA, on May 16, 2018.
