Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Danville, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a service station / car wash facility; and for site work for a transportation facility.

The Danville Regional Airport's existing fuel farm consists of one 12,000, gallon Jet A tank and one 12,000, gallon AVGAS tank. Over the past fiscal year total fuel sales for the Danville airport increased 62% from 144,964 gallons sold during FY20 to 234,956 gallons sold during FY21. This situation was spurred by increased business aviation traffic as well as increased jet aircraft operations related to the Virginia International Raceway. In fact, during one weekend in March 2021 and again during one weekend in June 2021, a total of more than 22,000 gallons of jet fuel were sold each weekend due to raceway traffic. Since the airport's existing jet fuel tank holds 12,000 gallons, the tank requires refilling during each weekend. An additional Jet A fuel tank is needed to support anticipated jet traffic operations related to the 2023 Caesars casino resort opening and during weekends when operations associated with the casino overlap with major raceway events. It is anticipated that over 30,000 gallons of jet fuel will likely be sold on weekends after the resort opens making it very challenging for the FBO to maintain adequate fuel supply with one 12,000, gallon jet fuel tank and challenging ground transportation supply issues. To provide for a reliable supply of fuel this project request would involve the installation of one (1) additional 20,000 gallon for jet fuel.
