In addition to the $4.8 million loan, $1 million from the Fire and Rescue Levy Fund, $600,000 in donations held by the Orlean Fire Department and $595,066 previously spent or encumbered from the fire and levy will cover the cost.  

County supervisors, during their Dec. 14 meeting, also authorized the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport to apply for nearly $2.6 million in funds from the Virginia Department of Aviation to construct a new terminal. The county will provide about $1.7 million in local matching funds. A private donor is contributing $381,130 for geothermal, wall coating and rainwater harvesting.

The new 12,500 square-foot building will be built quickly and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018, according to Shelby Fire Chief Mike Thompson.  

Mayor Steve Schag said funding of the "state-of-the-art" building is unique in that taxpayer money will not be used to construct it.  

Instead, the fire chief, mayor and Friends of the the Black Fork said they have three primary sources to reach their capital campaign goal during a press conference, Tuesday in Shelby.  

Schag said because Grant Milliron came to the the city and told them of his desire to build the new building with his own money, tax money is not involved.
