Horry County Council will once again take up the issue of airport expansion.
At Tuesday night’s council meeting, Rick Ott, with MB Kahn construction, a firm hired by council, presented a plan on terminal expansion at the Myrtle Beach international airport.
Ott said after months of public meetings all over the county, he's ready to present two design options to council for approval.
Once council members choose a design plan, Ott said he expects there will be a series of several meetings before an ordinance is proposed.
"One of the key issues is the fact that we are working on a very tight time frame in order to get council approval on this we have some March deadlines in 2009 that we have to make, we have an awful lot of work to get in place to do that it will save the county some money if we are able to make that window. We hope tonight will be the first step in that process and then hopefully by the first of November we will be able to get the final go-ahead on the project and people can start seeing some progress happening out here," Ott said.
Council chair Liz Gilland tells News13 she expects council to approve one of the design plans.
