The Virginia Aviation Board allocated $6.5 million last week to 21 public-use airports for general aviation enhancements across the state.
The allocations are on par with previous allocations reported by AFP in 2021 ($6.54 million), 2020 ($8.21 million) and 2018 ($4.94 million). In 2019, $22 million was allocated to support Virginia airports.
Thirty one projects received funding at last week’s quarterly meeting with the largest allocations going to a runway extension at Blue Ridge Regional Airport in Martinsville and a hangar and taxi-lane rehabilitation project at Leesburg Executive Airport in Northern Virginia.
