County Of Chenango

County Of Chenango, a municipal government entity headquartered in Norwich, New York, acts as a federal grant recipient delivering airport infrastructure improvements and community resilience projects to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, with subordinate federal grant pass-through work routed through New York State intermediary agencies. The county operates almost exclusively as a grant recipient (11% of awards as prime recipient, 89% as sub-recipient), and does not hold federal contracts or seat on contract vehicles.

County Of Chenango's federal footprint centers on two distinct capability areas. The primary direct grant work involves airport infrastructure rehabilitation and safety compliance at Norwich Municipal Airport. Representative FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106 and 20.116) awards include a $1,063,001 project grant (awarded June 23, 2026, completion June 22, 2030) to reseal and resurface 4,727 feet of Runway 1/19 pavement and joints; a $312,520 project grant (awarded April 9, 2024, completion April 8, 2028) to install a replacement Type III-P Automated Weather Observing System; a $2,586,164 project grant (awarded August 14, 2023, completion August 13, 2027) for taxiway rehabilitation, airfield guidance sign reconstruction, and edge lighting system work; and a $179,474 formula grant (awarded September 9, 2024, completion September 8, 2028) for Phase 1 obstruction removal study and mitigation. The county also received a community revitalization grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (January 1, 2023 through July 1, 2024) and COVID-19 airport economic relief funding under the American Rescue Plan Act (August 2, 2021 through August 1, 2025).

Subordinate grant work dominates the award count. County Of Chenango receives pass-through sub-awards from the New York State Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance and the New York State Office of Children & Family Services, representing federal funding flows for temporary assistance, child welfare services, and related social programs. Health Research Inc. channels public health emergency preparedness funding, and the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services awarded sub-grants for hazard mitigation planning and riverbank mitigation projects. These sub-awards are numerically dominant but do not represent procurement relationships with the federal government.

Customer concentration reflects the bifurcated portfolio. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 139 of 243 total awards (57% of award count), though these are predominately sub-awards flowing through New York State intermediaries rather than direct federal relationships. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency each account for 14 awards. The county has served 15 distinct federal agencies across all award types.

Activity has accelerated significantly. The county received 3 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 99 in 2024, 70 in 2025, and 23 in the first half of 2026, reflecting expanded federal grant pass-through as a sub-recipient channel. Combined obligated dollars across all awards reach $31.8 million, with the most recent activity dated June 23, 2026.
