The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded the Twin County Airport Commission, based in Carroll County, Virginia, two separate grants totaling $2,939,800. The funding supports the construction of hangars for aircraft storage and makes improvements to an existing taxiway. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“Structural and capacity improvements to airports enhance safety and aviation operations.

“These DOT grants for more than $2.9 million help the Twin County Airport Authority make necessary runway and storage improvements at the Twin County Airport.”

BACKGROUND

These grant funds were made available through the FAA Fiscal Year 2025 Airport Infrastructure Grant program and Airport Improvements Program.

Earlier this week, Congressman Griffith announced an $850,000 DOT grant earmarked to the Twin County Airport Commission. This grant came as a result of Congressman Griffith’s community funding project requests for Fiscal Year 2024.

Twin County Airport is one of the only airports in the region that does not have at least a 5,000-foot runway to accommodate the needs of business jet traffic.
