Re:      Bamberg County Airport Road Gets Facelift

Bamberg, South Carolina (July 2023) –Airport Road has undergone improvements, including widening and resurfacing, thanks to the Bamberg County C-Fund Committee. An allotment of $190,000 in state road funds was approved for the project, which was completed last week.

C-Fund Chairman Harold Johnson said, “We are happy to do our part to help improve Airport Road because doing so will assist with recruiting new business and industry to Bamberg County.”

Likewise, Bamberg County Council Chairman Dr. Jonathan Goodman noted, “Airport Road is important infrastructure in Bamberg County, and professionally maintaining it is necessary to attract new businesses.” 

According to Bamberg County Administrator Joey Preston, “This paving project will make the Bamberg County Airport  more attractive, which will lead to more pilots registering their airplanes here, and that will open the door for more economic growth in Bamberg County.” 

A community’s sound infrastructure is paramount for economic development and growth, but it is also important to maintain that infrastructure. The Bamberg County C-Fund Committee’s investment in the Airport Road improvements demonstrates their commitment to a flourishing county that will benefit all of its citizens.
