Myrtle Beach ~ Horry County votes for east side terminal

The Horry County Council this afternoon reclaimed control of the future of the Myrtle Beach International Airport, voting to work toward a new or expanded terminal on the east side of the runway.

The council also asked Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach to endorse the East side concept and did away with an ad hoc committee comprised of city and business representatives.

With this, the county, which owns and operates the airport, moved away from a failed bid to build a new terminal on the West side of the runway. A city board rejected that plan in April because members felt it was too close to new development on the former Air Force Base.
