SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In 2022, the CRAA requested a land exchange due to an upcoming apron project. CRAA's apron project includes design, permitting, procurement, and construction for a new RON apron located west of Taxiway Alpha.
The Government is entering into this Agreement pursuant to the authority contained in Title 10, United States Code, Section 2869(d)(2), Exchange of Property at Military Installations. The CRAA requested ~5.1 acres of JB CHS property for the new RON apron project, which will provide a new concrete apron that will accommodate up to three ADG III aircraft parking spaces. The CRAA apron project would also include the installation of edge lights and improvements to the existing stormwater drainage system. In exchange, Joint Base Charleston will receive 5.1 acres of CRAA owned land within the Runway 33 Clear Zone, in exchange for 5.1 acres of JBC property located between Taxiway Charlie and the CHS apron to facilitate the construction of the new RON.
On 1 August 2026, the Department of the Air Force notified the appropriate Congressional committees of the terms and conditions of the proposed exchange pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 2869(d)(2).
