Project Description: This project is to mill and overlay existing aircraft apron area located south of the Terminal Building near the fixed base operator (FBO) Maintenance and Corporate Hangar. This approximately 46,000 square yard apron was identified in the 2015 Virginia Department of Aviation Pavement Management Update as currently having "fair" pavement condition, with a forecast of "poor" pavement condition prior to 2021. The apron provides tie-downs for based and transient aircraft, as well as taxi lanes for maneuvering aircraft to the hangar and terminal areas. The estimated completion schedule for this project is contingent on receiving the funding the Town plans to request from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Virginia Department of Aviation. This project is in accordance with the 2019 Airport Master Plan.
