During a closed-to-the-public ceremony sparked by the coronavirus pandemic, today’s Stafford County Regional Airport broke ground on a project to extend its existing runway.
A small group was invited to join the Stafford Airport Regional Airport Authority in the biting January wind to celebrate the beginning of construction on their new runway extension, which has been in the works since 2007.
The construction will add 1,000 feet to the existing 5,000 runway, which is 100 feet wide. Many officials on the Airport Authority and the governments of surrounding counties are certain that it will help bring greater economic growth to the area.
