As part of the N.C. Department of Transportation’s ongoing commitment to improving aviation in North Carolina, the N.C. Division of Aviation awarded over $9 million dollars in Vision 100 funds from the Federal Aviation Administration to several general aviation airports across the state.

That included the Shiloh Airport which is located between Wentworth and Stoneville.

Airports can use the funds for general airfield improvements, runway safety, runway extensions or used for construction of a new terminal.

The Division of Aviation, as a participant in the annual Federal Block Grant Program, administers the funds and manages the associated projects provided to the 63 general aviation airports. Normal airport operational costs such as salaries, mowing equipment and supplies are not eligible for funding.

Vision 100 funds are distributed by the FAA to states through the passage of the Wendall H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century in 2003.

These non-primary entitlement funds are for general aviation airports listed in the latest published National Plan of Integrated Airports.

In addition to Shiloh Airport in Rockingham County, other regional airports that received funding included the Asheboro Regional Airport; Burlington-Alamance Regional Airport; Mount Airy/Surry County Airport; Person County Airport in Roxboro; and the Smith Reynolds Airport in Winston-Salem.

Since Gov. Bev Perdue took office in 2009, the Division of Aviation has awarded more than $125 million in funding to state airports.

It looks like the Reidsville Downtown Corporation and the City of Reidsville are clamping down on non-profit groups who want to raise money for their organizations while special events are underway in the downtown area.
