Taxiway revamp
In early January 2017, the City Council of Danville approved a 3.1 million dollar project to rebuild taxiway "A" at the airport while narrowing it to 35 feet. The project is being completed due to the ever increasing poor state of taxiway "A". Construction work is scheduled to begin in March 2017.[3]
