Forecast of the National Weather Service
Airport to begin selling fuel WHAT’S NEXT?

The Burke County airport is
close to beginning operations
that include the sale of fuel.
After receiving the first fuel
loads, the Board of Commis
sioners approved a request for
a budget amendment allowing
for the purchase of fuel in
recognition of the potential for
future revenue from fuel sales.
It is anticipated that the fuel
farm will be branded as Phil
lips and could be selling fuel
as early as this week.
The BOC also approved the
airport’s 2024-2028 Capital
Improvement Program during
the November 8 meeting. The
county’s 5-year plan includes
the majority of improvements
completed during the first two
years.
An application through the
Federal Aviation Administra
tion’s program for terminal
funding has been applied for. If
awarded, it will fund the termi
nal building at 95%. The FA A
will help spread the word to the
flying public that Waynesboro
is a stopping point for fuel.
The apron space continues
to be a concern when it comes
to attracting Masters traffic.
One big jet would consume
most of the available parking
space. Initially, small single
engine aircraft will be encour
aged to utilize the facility.
The CIP includes, however,
expansion plans for the apron
over the next two years.
