Reconstruct taxiway

The Town of Leesburg Finance Department received a $1.09 million formula grant award on August 8, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration's Eastern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants. This grant funds Phase 1 (design phase) of a taxiway reconstruction project at airports serving Leesburg, Virginia, which will reconstruct 5,500 linear feet of existing parallel Taxiway A pavement that has reached the end of its useful life.

The anticipated project completion date is August 7, 2029, allowing a four-year performance period typical for Airport Improvement Program awards that accommodate design, permitting, and construction phases. Upon completion of the design phase funded under this award, the project is expected to support the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining adequate airport infrastructure to meet regional civil aeronautics needs.
