The Manassas Regional Airport is tearing down old airport hangars to make way for a $5 million street relocation project.
The hangars were occupied by Dulles Aviation, a flight school, for almost 40 years. Two large corporate hangars on the northwest side have been demolished for a road and drainage to be built. Before the Dulles Aviation FBO occupied these hangars, the Fairfax police helicopter division inhabited the main hangar for almost three years while their facility was being rebuilt, explained Jolene Berry, the airport’s assistant director.
The relocation project is funded using bi-partisan infrastructure law, or BIL funding. Berry explained that the airport plans to front the project cost and get reimbursed by the FAA over five years.

With just four days until the show, almost 275 of the 1,000 available tickets have been sold for STEPVA's spring musical, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." STEPVA is a local 501(c)3 non-profit designed to "empower people with disabilities through creative expression and sensory exploration."
This year's performance is the third year the organization has staged a spring musical and the second year that the cast--more than 30-- has worked to master the content of a licensed musical. As in years past, STEP VA is making necessary adaptations for the performers, each of whom has a disability, but only as those needs arise.
"I wanted to give them as close to a Broadway experience as possible," Sarah Garner, program coordinator, explained last year when the organization was preparing for Disney's The Lion King, Kid.
