Construct taxiway

The Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport Authority received a $5.1 million Project Grant on August 28, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds Phase 3 of a comprehensive taxiway infrastructure project, which involves the construction of 2,400 feet of new Taxiway E at the Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport in Martinsburg, West Virginia. When complete, the full 12,000-foot taxiway will bring the airport into conformance with current Federal Aviation Administration safety and operational standards.

The project is scheduled for completion by August 27, 2029, and represents a critical component of the airport authority's multi-phase infrastructure modernization initiative. This grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by funding the development of civilian airport infrastructure necessary to meet civil aeronautics needs. As a DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and county-level airport authority, the recipient has a demonstrated track record of successfully managing federal aviation infrastructure grants through the FAA's regional office structure.
