eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). Mr. Morello reported that, unfortunately, Virginia’s
stand-alone application to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA to host an eVTOL
Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) R&D demonstration corridor was not one of the selected
proposals. He stated that eight geographic areas were selected, amongst them several states’
proposals. Mr. Morello explained that Virginia will actually be involved, however, through a
multi-state application led by Pennsylvania, which includes 17 other states, and that DOAV
contributed to this successful proposal. He stated that Greg Campbell has requested a debrief
from the FAA to better understand why Virginia’s standalone application was not chosen. Mr.
Morello stated that he will seek clarification from DOAV on what participation in the multi-state
proposal means for PHF. Mr. Morello emphasized the importance of proactively positioning the
airport to be included and plans to dedicate effort toward ensuring representation in the program.
He stated that this initiative is not a grant program, but rather requires collaboration with the
private sector, and that participants must propose innovative concepts and largely fund or
incentivize the projects themselves.

Taxiway Delta and the 7460 obstruction approval has been received. He stated that construction
