About Us

The Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport Commission was created in 1956 by a group of local business and community leaders from five localities: Harrisonburg, Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Rockingham and Augusta. This forward-thinking group knew for our local economy to grow, an air transportation facility with substantial capabilities would be critical. Today, these same localities have businesses and industries that depend on the facilities and services provided at SHD as an essential part of their day-to-day operations. SHD is a critical partner in regional economic development efforts and works collaboratively with the Shenandoah Valley Partnership, the region’s economic development and marketing organization. Close proximity and access are core criteria when companies are looking to invest, grow and expand. It often begins with their first visit to the Valley through the doors of SHD.
