The authority has also received COVID-19 economic relief funds through the American Rescue Plan Act, supporting airport operations, personnel costs, cleaning, sanitization, and pandemic response efforts. These grants demonstrate the organization's commitment to maintaining airport infrastructure, improving operational efficiency, and supporting long-term economic benefits for the aviation sector in Virginia.
