Construct/expand hangar

Twin County Airport received a $566,526.32 project grant awarded on August 29, 2025, under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct two new aircraft storage hangars. The project deliverables consist of one 3,000 square-foot sponsor-owned hangar and one 2,300 square-foot sponsor-owned hangar located in Hillsville, Virginia. This grant funds a portion of the final construction phase, with an associated separate Airport Infrastructure Grant funding the remaining eligible project costs. The project is scheduled for completion by August 28, 2029.

The hangars are designed to enhance the airport's financial sustainability by generating revenue through aircraft storage operations while supporting regional transportation infrastructure needs in southwestern Virginia. By expanding hangar capacity, Twin County Airport will increase its revenue-generating potential and reduce operational dependency on government support, consistent with the FAA's strategic objectives of long-term economic benefits and operational excellence in maintaining an adequate nationwide system of public-use airports.
