Washington, D.C.- Last week, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced it was awarding nearly $8.9 million in federal funding for the Hilton Head Island Airport to expand its terminal building. Rep. Nancy Mace, who supported the project and the airport’s application, issued the following statement: 

“Tourism is one of, if not the biggest, industries in the Lowcountry. This grant, to expand the existing terminal at Hilton Head, will allow more people to come to visit, stay, and help grow the local economy,” said Rep.
