New Eight-Story Tower to Enhance Airfield Visibility and Safety
Washington Manassas Airport has begun construction on a new, larger air traffic control tower, which will replace the existing structure commissioned in 1992. The new tower will feature training support spaces, offices, and a state-of-the-art simulator, and is expected to be completed by 2029 at an estimated cost of $41 million. The Federal Aviation Administration will cover a significant portion of the costs, with the city of Manassas funding the remaining amount, as reported by Unknown Source.
