Anderson County Receives a $350,000 Grant for the Anderson Regional Airport.
The grant funding will be for a public-private aviation-themed playground.
Anderson County, S.C. (June 27, 2024) — Chairman Tommy Dunn and the Anderson County Council offer their sincere appreciation to Senator Mike Gambrell and Representative Don Chapman for their sponsorship of a $350,000 grant to construct a new aviation-themed playground at Anderson Regional Airport.
The grant funding, in addition to the generous private contributions from our community, will bring the project to life. With all project funding now secured, Anderson County will proceed with the final design and development of the playground’s customized play elements. The development of the play structure is part of the county’s effort to enhance Anderson Regional Airport’s utility as a community-wide asset.
“We are grateful for Senator Gambrell and Representative Chapman’s assistance with this public-private partnership. This project will provide additional recreation opportunities for children living in western Anderson County, and we expect its relationship with the airport will encourage some of these kids to consider careers in aviation and other STEM-related activities.”—Tommy Dunn, Chairman, Anderson County Council
