Twin County Airport

Twin County Airport, a municipal airport authority in Hillsville, Virginia, receives federal infrastructure grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region to fund runway and taxiway rehabilitation, hangar construction, and airport operations — operating exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint.

Twin County Airport is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority with a straightforward federal grant portfolio concentrated entirely within the FAA's airport infrastructure programs. The airport has received eleven federal grants totaling $5.2 million in combined obligated dollars since 2016, all awarded by the FAA Eastern Region under formula grant and project grant assistance types. Recent activity includes a $400,000 Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) formula grant awarded July 31, 2026, to fund Phase 1 design work for runway rehabilitation of 4,204 feet of existing paved Runway 01/19, with ultimate completion by July 30, 2030. Parallel infrastructure grants fund taxiway rehabilitation and expansion: a $2.528 million formula grant awarded August 29, 2025, supports final construction of Taxiway A rehabilitation and northward connector reconfiguration to meet FAA design standards (completion August 28, 2029), and an earlier $190,886 project grant from July 19, 2023, funded the design phase of the same taxiway project (completion July 18, 2027). The airport has also received $712,960.74 in combined funding for hangar construction across three grants: a $566,526.32 project grant awarded August 29, 2025, to construct two sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangars (3,000 and 2,300 square feet) for revenue generation (completion August 28, 2029); a $146,434.74 project grant awarded May 7, 2026, to fund the final construction phase of the same two hangars (completion May 6, 2030); and a project grant awarded August 30, 2024, to fund the design phase of an 8,860 square-foot sponsor-owned hangar (completion August 29, 2028). The airport also received a $245,573 American Rescue Plan Act economic relief grant awarded December 22, 2021, to cover pandemic-related operational costs, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service (completion December 21, 2025). All work is performed in Hillsville, Virginia. Twin County Airport's grant strategy centers on maintaining structural integrity of existing airfield pavement and expanding revenue-generating hangar capacity to enhance operational self-sustainability while supporting regional transportation infrastructure in southwestern Virginia. Two grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
