County Of New Kent

County of New Kent, operating through its New Kent Airport Division, is a U.S. local government entity receiving federal grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund airport infrastructure improvements at New Kent Airport in Quinton, Virginia. The County operates as a grant recipient under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106 and 20.116), with no federal contracting activity and no subcontractor relationships.

The County's federal footprint consists entirely of FAA grants supporting obstruction removal, runway pavement maintenance, aircraft storage hangar design, and pandemic economic relief at the airport. Representative work includes a $115,749.47 formula grant awarded June 24, 2026, to fund Phase 4 avigation easement acquisition for tree obstruction removal (ultimate completion June 23, 2030); a $112,749.47 formula grant awarded September 3, 2025, to fund Phase 3 avigation easement purchases (ultimate completion September 2, 2029); and a $192,000 project grant awarded July 10, 2025, to fund Phase 1 design services for construction of a 10,000-square-foot sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar intended to enhance airport revenue and operational sustainability (ultimate completion July 9, 2029). Earlier phases include a $171,200 formula grant (August 27, 2024, ultimate completion August 26, 2028) for Phase 2 avigation easement purchases, a $178,900 project grant (August 9, 2023, ultimate completion August 8, 2027) for Phase 1 non-hazard approach obstruction removal, and a runway pavement sealing and crack repair project (July 31, 2023, ultimate completion July 30, 2027). The County also received American Rescue Plan Act pandemic economic relief funds totaling $112,600 (awarded December 27, 2021, ultimate completion December 26, 2025) for operations, personnel, cleaning, and debt service.

Activity is sparse and episodic: eighteen total awards across five years, with one award completing in the next twenty-four months. All funding flows from the FAA Eastern Region. Combined obligations total $5.9 million. The County is a child entity of New Kent County (U.S. Local Government) and operates as a 100% prime recipient with no subcontracting or third-party teaming.
