Reconstruct runway visual guidance system; rehabilitate runway lighting

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded $223,317.89 to the County of Braxton (doing business as Braxton County Commission) on July 13, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117).

The award funds reconstruction of the runway end identifier lights system for Runway 02/20 at both runway thresholds and the precision approach path indicator system at the threshold for Runway 20 at Braxton County Airport in Gassaway, West Virginia. The project also rehabilitates existing Runway 02/20 lighting to extend its useful life. Both systems have reached the end of their serviceable lives.

Performance runs through July 12, 2030. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides federal investment in runway, taxiway, safety and sustainability projects at eligible airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
