STAFFORD — The Stafford Regional Airport plans to expand its only runway by about 1,000 feet with construction starting in 2020 and ending in 2022.

The project was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and a meeting with adjacent landowners during a meeting held in 2015. The runway expansion will allow planes more room for takeoff, allowing them to travel non-stop to the west coast.
