The Virginia Aviation Board funded six projects – worth a combined $1.111 million – at public-use airports across the Commonwealth during its most recent meeting on Feb. 20.
The projects ranged in size from $3,760 for an update to the stormwater pollution prevention plan at Manassas Regional Airport to $444,444 for construction of a runway extension embankment at Virginia Highlands Airport near Abingdon.
“These projects are vitally important for public safety and customer service needs,” VAB Chairman Rod Hall said. “And the Board takes great pride in being able to provide financial support at each of its quarterly meetings.”
The Virginia Aviation Board awards nearly $30 million annually to support the public-use airports in Virginia.
“While the Commonwealth doesn’t own a single airport, we have one of the best aviation systems in the nation,” said Mark Flynn, director of the Virginia Department of Aviation. “These public-use airports are the economic engines that enable communities to thrive and provide a most effective way of moving people and goods.”
The six projects funded at the Feb. 20 meeting of the VAB are:
- Virginia Highlands Airport; runway extension embankment construction; $444,444.00
- Blue Ridge Regional Airport; Route 698 relocation and apron expansion construction; $108,657.00
