Shift taxiway; rehabilitate taxiway

Twin County Airport received a $2.528 million Formula Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Eastern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 29, 2025. The grant funds the final construction phase of a taxiway infrastructure project designed to rehabilitate approximately 1,700 feet of existing paved Taxiway A and shift the north end connector by approximately 53 feet to bring the airport into conformity with current FAA design standards. The project is expected to maintain pavement structural integrity, extend the useful life of the taxiway infrastructure, and enhance airport safety and operational compliance.

The project will be completed by August 28, 2029, and is intended to benefit regional transportation infrastructure serving the Hillsville, Virginia area and surrounding Carroll County. As a local government airport authority, Twin County Airport will utilize these federal funds to deliver critical airfield infrastructure improvements that support the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining adequate public-use airport systems for civil aeronautics needs.
