About the company
City of Cherokee, operating through its Cherokee Aviation Authority Division, is a U.S. local government airport authority that receives federal grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to fund nonprimary airport infrastructure and equipment improvements in Cherokee, Iowa. The entity operates as a grant recipient only — no federal contracts or contract vehicles — and is a child entity of the City of Cherokee municipal government.
Cherokee Aviation Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grants awarded by the FAA Central Region under two programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). Since 2012, the authority has received sixteen grants totaling $4.2 million in obligated dollars. Recent awards (2023–2026) fund runway lighting system reconstruction, runway visual guidance system installation, automated weather observing system deployment, and fuel farm expansion. Two companion grants issued on July 14, 2026—$445,810.53 under the Airport Improvement Program and $326,071.58 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program—fund construction and expansion of an existing fuel farm by adding two fuel tanks for a new fuel type, extending through July 13, 2030. A pair of August 2024 awards (one formula grant and one project grant) address runway 18/36 lighting reconstruction to Federal Aviation Administration standards and precision approach path indicator installation, also completing by August 8, 2028. Earlier work includes a June 2023 formula grant for installation of a Type III P/T automated weather observing system, completing June 12, 2027.
Activity has been episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2020, three in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2026 — with three grants (combined obligated value not separately itemized in the source) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. The FAA Central Region accounts for 100% of awards across both the infrastructure-grant and improvement-program lines, representing the exclusive federal customer relationship. Work is performed at Cherokee Airport in Cherokee, Iowa 51012, with all grants structured as project or formula grants on a reimbursement basis subject to future-year appropriations and post-completion compliance documentation requirements.
