Airport South End Site Preparation project information from Fiscal Year 2027 Budget (24001)

Project Start Date: Summer 2025

Estimated Completion Date: Winter 2030/2031

Project Manager: Karin Franklin 703-771-6674

Project Description: The southernmost portion of the airport is available for land lease for hangars to be built and operated by renters. This area has received unknown fill material and requires additional grading. The area does not have immediate interest from renters because of the unknowns surrounding the fill material and requires geotechnical analysis and grading to make this area more attractive and valuable for land lease. This project will include CATEX environmental study, geotechnical survey, and the design and construction needed to complete the site preparation. Funding is anticipated from the Virginia Department of Aviation (DOAV) for this project. The schedule is contingent on award of this funding. This project will help to promote local businesses and airport users by supplying additional high demand hangar and tie-down space at the airport. This project will also promote sustainability through the use of LED lighting and the installation of conduit to facilitate adding future charging stations for electric planes when needed.

Project Updates: As of May 22, 2026 - The FAA Environmental Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) form for this project has been approved.
