Twin County Airport

Twin County Airport, a municipal airport authority located in Hillsville, Virginia, is a federal grant recipient under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program and Airport Infrastructure Grants program, receiving project and formula grants for airfield infrastructure rehabilitation and hangar construction. As a U.S. local government entity and airport authority, Twin County operates as a prime recipient of federal transportation infrastructure funding, with no subcontract or sub-award activity in the source record.

Twin County's federal grant portfolio consists entirely of FAA Eastern Region funding. The airport has received six federal grants totaling $4.8 million in combined obligated dollars across design and construction phases for two parallel infrastructure initiatives. The first initiative funds taxiway rehabilitation and reconfiguration: a $566,526 project grant awarded August 29, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to design the rehabilitation of approximately 1,700 feet of Taxiway A and shift the north connector by 53 feet to meet FAA design standards, scheduled for completion by August 28, 2029; and a $2.528 million formula grant, also awarded August 29, 2025, under the same program to fund the final construction phase of the same taxiway project. An earlier design-phase grant awarded July 19, 2023, under CFDA 20.106 (completion date July 18, 2027) funded the initial design work for the same taxiway rehabilitation scope. The second initiative supports revenue-generating hangar capacity: a project grant awarded August 30, 2024, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund design of a new 8,860 square-foot sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar (completion by August 29, 2028); a $566,526 project grant awarded August 29, 2025, to fund final construction of two sponsor-owned hangars totaling 5,300 square feet (one 3,000 square feet, one 2,300 square feet, completion by August 28, 2029); and a $146,434 project grant awarded May 7, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for the final hangar construction phase (completion by May 6, 2030). All hangar projects are designed to enhance the airport's operational self-sustainability through revenue generation from aircraft storage operations. Twin County also received a project grant under the American Rescue Plan Act (awarded December 22, 2021, completion December 21, 2025) providing economic relief for pandemic-related operational costs, personnel, and facility sanitization. Award activity shows two grants in 2025 and one in 2026, with one award (the December 2021 ARPA grant) approaching completion inside the next twenty-four months.
