Up to $150K for acreage near Clemson

County administrative staff recommends the county put aside up to $150 thousand to buy 11.23 acres adjacent to the Oconee Regional Airport.  The recommendation is on the meeting agenda tomorrow for the county council.  The property deal is intended for future expansion of the airport apron and new airplane hangars.  The county aeronautics commission chairman, Randy Renz, believes that after a lull created by COVID-19, airport activity is picking up.  Renz Saturday said a contractor has begun to move dirt there in anticipation of the latest airport expansion project.
