Reconstruct runway lighting; install runway signage/markings; reconstruct runway visual guidance system

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded $302,000 to Emporia-Greensville Airport Commission on July 24, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to fund design phase work for runway infrastructure reconstruction and upgrade at Emporia-Greenville Airport in Emporia, Virginia.

The project consists of three components: reconstruction of Runway 16/34 lighting systems that have reached the end of their useful life, installation of new runway signage and markings to bring the airport into conformity with current standards, and reconstruction of runway end identifier lights and precision approach path indicator systems at both runway thresholds. This award funds Phase 1, the design phase of this work. The airport serves the Moonlight, Virginia area.

Performance runs through July 23, 2030. Emporia-Greensville Airport Commission is a local government airport authority receiving federal infrastructure grants exclusively from the Federal Aviation Administration.
