Infrastructure upgrades to the tune of $620,060 are coming to three Virginia airports, according to a statement from U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA).
The federal grant funding will be distributed as follows:
- Emporia-Greensville Airport Commission, $109,000: Assist in the construction of a T-hangar for aircraft storage at the Emporia-Greensville Regional Airport.
- Virginia Aviation Associates, $226,050: To expand an existing fuel farm at Hampton Roads Executive Airport by adding two fuel tanks with two self-service pumps
- City of Suffolk, $285,000: To assist in the construction of a hangar for aircraft at the Suffolk Executive Airport
The funding is awarded through the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration Airport Infrastructure Grant program.
“This investment in Virginia airports will help open doors for travelers and businesses across the Commonwealth,” said the senators. “We’re proud to announce funding that improves our infrastructure and passenger experience and helps train Virginia’s next generation of pilots.”
Earlier this year, the senators announced over $2 million in federal funding from the Federal Aviation Administration to modernize infrastructure for three of Virginia’s regional and international travel hubs.
