Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Emporia-Greensville Airport Commission a Project Grant of $467,368.42 on August 27, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct a new 8,835 square foot sponsor-owned T-hangar facility for aircraft storage at the Emporia-Greensville Regional Airport in Emporia, Virginia. This grant represents partial federal funding for the overall project, with complementary Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Airport Infrastructure Grant funding supporting the remaining eligible project costs. The T-hangar construction is designed to enhance the airport's financial sustainability by generating additional revenue through aircraft storage services while maintaining critical aviation infrastructure.

As a public-use airport facility included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems, the Emporia-Greensville Regional Airport serves the Moonlight, Virginia region and qualifies for federal investment under the Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide to meet civil aeronautics needs.
