Construct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Eastern Region awarded Tri-State Airport Authority a $348,500 project grant on August 20, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support infrastructure development at Huntington Tri-State Airport in West Virginia. This Phase 1 grant funds an environmental assessment for the construction of a new 2,500-foot Taxiway J, which will expand the airport's capacity to accommodate additional based aircraft. The project is scheduled for completion by August 19, 2029.

The environmental assessment represents the initial phase of a multi-year taxiway construction initiative designed to enhance airport operational capabilities and support long-term economic development in the Huntington region. Upon completion of the environmental review and approval process, the project will advance to subsequent phases involving design and construction activities, consistent with typical Airport Improvement Program project timelines and requirements.
