The Twin County Airport Commission in Carroll County, Virginia, has received two grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) totaling $2,939,800. The funding will be used for the construction of aircraft storage hangars and improvements to an existing taxiway at Twin County Airport.
U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) commented on the announcement: “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.”
The grant funds are provided through the FAA Fiscal Year 2025 Airport Infrastructure Grant program and Airport Improvements Program.
Earlier this week, Congressman Griffith announced another DOT grant of $850,000 designated for the Twin County Airport Commission as a result of his community funding project requests for Fiscal Year 2024.
Twin County Airport is noted as one of the few airports in its region that does not have a runway of at least 5,000 feet to support business jet traffic.
Congressman Morgan Griffith has represented Virginia’s 9th district in Congress since 2011 after succeeding Rick Boucher. Before his tenure in Congress, he served in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2000 to 2010. Griffith was born in Philadelphia in 1958 and currently resides in Salem. He graduated from Emory and Henry College with a BA in 1980 and earned a JD from Washington and Lee University in 1983.
