The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded $488,151.58 to the County of Fauquier on June 16, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to fund Phase 1 design activities for runway rehabilitation at Warrenton Airport.

The project reconstructs the Runway End Identifier Lights system and Precision Approach Path Indicator system for Runway 15-33 at both runway thresholds, rehabilitates 5,000 feet of existing paved runway surface to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, and rehabilitates existing runway lighting. The work is performed in Midland, Virginia, with a period of performance through June 15, 2030. The grant provides federal funding for airports associated with Warrenton, Virginia. This is the first phase of design; the source does not describe subsequent construction phases.
