About the company
Virginia Highlands Airport Commission, operating as Virginia Highlands Airport, is a county airport authority based in Abingdon, Virginia, that receives federal infrastructure grants as a prime recipient — acting exclusively as a grantee with no federal contracting activity or sub-award participation. The entity operates a public-use airport listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems and funds capital projects through federal grants administered by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Virginia Highlands Airport's federal funding footprint concentrates almost entirely on FAA infrastructure grants. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region has issued 17 awards, and the FAA's main office has issued 8 additional awards, accounting for 25 of the entity's 31 total federal awards (100% of the grant portfolio). Five awards have come from the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, and one from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $50.5 million, with the most recent award issued on July 24, 2026.
The entity's grant work centers on airport pavement and lighting infrastructure rehabilitation, runway extension, and revenue-generating hangar construction. Recent representative grants include a $5.5 million Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) project grant awarded August 29, 2025, to fund the final construction phase of runway rehabilitation for 4,570 feet of Runway 6/24 and associated lighting systems, scheduled for completion by August 28, 2029; a $1.111 million Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) project grant awarded June 7, 2025, to construct new aircraft storage hangars (one 12,915-square-foot hangar and four 3,600-square-foot sponsor-owned hangars) to improve revenue sustainability under expanded Bipartisan Infrastructure Law eligibility; a $495,000 Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) grant awarded July 24, 2026, to fund Phase 1 design for taxiway rehabilitation and lighting upgrades for 4,100 feet of Taxiway A (performance through July 23, 2030); and a $412,842 Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) project grant awarded May 5, 2026, for site preparation on two new 8,700-square-foot non-exclusive-use aircraft storage hangars (performance through May 4, 2030). Award activity has remained sparse and uneven — three awards in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Virginia Highlands Airport operates as sole recipient on all grant work; no subcontracted or sub-recipient grant activity is present in the source data.
