The Website of the Airport Acres Neighborhood Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

[ Home | Dynamic Planning | Contents | Glossary | Disclaimer ]

Welcome to our website. It's been developed, growing, dying, changing, and re-emerging since mid-2000. It may have many objectives or goals but for now, it has been created to assist in making appeals and communicating with each other and the Town about the forming the Airport Authority, developing the Hubbard Road extension, commenting on Town policies and news, and providing services and improvements to the quality of life of citizens in the neighborhood and surrounding areas.

You are no more than a click away from access to the following units of this site or those of the Town. Some are mere ideas, others quite well developed. Some we can drop. All can be improved with your constructive comments and advice. It will be changing. For now, make comments about the site - - additions, editorial suggestions, additions of pictures, etc. Send them to Bob Giles or drop by 504 Rose Avenue for a chat (or call 552-8672).

News ... The Hubbard Road Extension is reported to be delayed until the year-2014 road building budget cycle. The new airport manager in charge of the Executive Airport is Mr. Michael St. Jean

You can always link to the Town for a variety of topics.
