Construct wash rack; construct taxiway; construct/expand snow removal equipment building

The County of Culpeper received a $130,770.53 Project Grant awarded on September 18, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), administered by the Federal Aviation Administration's Eastern Region. The grant funds Phase 1 development activities for three infrastructure projects at Culpeper Regional Airport located in Brandy Station, Virginia, with an anticipated completion date of September 17, 2029. The funded deliverables include preparation of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation and design services for constructing a 1,600 square-foot snow removal equipment storage building, a 300-foot by 150-foot aircraft holding bay adjacent to the parallel taxiway at Runway 22, and a public-use aircraft wash rack facility.

These infrastructure improvements are designed to bring Culpeper Regional Airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards while enhancing airport self-sustainability. The snow removal equipment building and taxiway expansion address operational standards compliance, while the aircraft wash rack facility is intended to generate revenue and support the airport's financial independence. The grant funding covers the initial planning and environmental review phase required before construction activities commence.
