Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Nicholas County Commission a $256,217.89 Project Grant on September 12, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to update the airport master plan serving Summersville, West Virginia. The project involves updating the existing airport layout plan with comprehensive master plan narrative documentation. The grant period extends through September 11, 2029, providing a four-year implementation timeline typical for FAA airport planning and development initiatives.

This master planning project supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through infrastructure investment. The deliverable—an updated airport layout plan and master plan narrative—will serve as foundational documentation for future airport infrastructure decisions and federal grant applications. Upon completion, the airport layout plan must be maintained and made available throughout the grant agreement period, ordinarily for 20 years, consistent with FAA regulatory requirements for planning and development projects.
