The Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport is about to get a cash infusion.
U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine announced a total of $19-million dollars in federal funding to provide economic relief to 11 airports across Virginia.
The Weyers Cave airport is receiving just over 1-million dollars as a result of the funding.
Executive Director Greg Campbell says this was something that commercial airports across the country collectively had asked Congress to support.
The relief money was authorized under the December 2020 emergency COVID-19 relief bill supported by both the senators.
