Airport to Sell 1.5 Acres
The Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport plans to sell about 1.5 acres of airport land and change it from aeronautical to non‑aeronautical use. The FAA determined on January 8, 2026 that the sale will not affect airport operations; the public may comment by April 2, 2026, and the FAA may approve the release no sooner than 30 days after this notice was published.
Sale Proceeds Reinvested in Airport Projects
The airport will receive fair market value for the sold property and will reinvest the funds in another eligible airport improvement project for aviation use under 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii). The release is being made to comply with FAA grant assurances that prevent federally acquired airport property from being used for non‑aviation purposes.
