The board voted to recommend applying for an ATAX (tourism) grant to renovate restrooms at Buford Executive Airport, a general-aviation facility that staff said serves as a gateway to northern Beaufort County.
John (staff member) told the board the restrooms were last renovated in 2014 or 2015 and that improved facilities would present a better image for visitors and tenants as traffic recovers. "So it's time," he said, adding that Marlene and Brandon would handle the application paperwork if the board agreed.
Board members asked for discussion and a motion. A motion was made and, after no members registered opposition, Chair announced, "Motion carries." The board did not read a roll-call tally on the record.
Next steps: staff will include minutes in the ATAX application and proceed with procurement if and when the grant is awarded. The board did not set an implementation date or funding match in this meeting.
Provenance: The item was introduced under "New business" and discussed in the board meeting; staff requested board recommendation to apply for ATAX funds for Buford Executive Airport restroom renovations.
