MB approves resolution answering questions on airport

In passing Councilman Wayne Gray's four-part resolution, Myrtle Beach City Council members on Tuesday unanimously answered one question Horry County hasn't officially asked yet and two it has asked repeatedly.
No, the city won't remove the Community Appearance Board from the planning process at the Myrtle Beach International Airport; yes, the city favors just one runway; yes, the city wants Harrelson Boulevard extended; and yes, the city will help develop and implement marketing strategies that will help the region as well as the airport.
The other thing it makes clear is that "as a collective body, we support the east-side terminal [expansion or new construction]," Gray said after Tuesday's City Council meeting. His resolution tells the county that the city will act as a co-applicant on all east-side terminal expansion or building plans.
He acknowledged his resolution was a response to a three-part resolution Horry County Council members passed several weeks ago in a 6-5 vote. The county resolved to appear before the City Council to ask if the appearance board - which scuttled the county's plans for a west-side terminal in April - could be removed from the process; to ask the city again for its feelings on the possibility of a second runway; and to ask the city whether it supports expanding the east-side terminal.
