The time is now to plan for the coming growth in the area

The Sun News reported on the number of visitors so far this year and the article said it was expecting 20 million visitors by 2020 - only four years from now. About a week before that article was another one on selling part of Myrtle Beach airport land.

Is there any forethought or planning that the land may be needed in the future for more growth of the airport? The airport is already scrambling to make more parking spaces. Seems someone wants to make a buck now without contemplating or planning for the future.
