Hartington Airport

Hartington Airport Authority, a division of the City of Hartington municipal government based in Hartington, Nebraska, receives federal aviation infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a grant recipient (100% prime recipient posture, no subcontracting).

The Hartington Airport Authority is a U.S. local government entity—specifically an airport authority operating as a child division of the City of Hartington. The entity has no contract prime awardees and operates exclusively under federal grant mechanisms rather than procurement contracts. All twelve awards in the source data are project or formula grants issued by the FAA Central Region under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) and related aviation assistance vehicles. The Authority concentrates entirely on a single customer: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, which accounts for all awards across two reporting lines (FAA Central Region and FAA national).

Recent grant work includes a $319,000 project grant awarded March 10, 2026, under CFDA 20.117 to fund the design phase of a new 6,400 square-foot sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar intended to enhance airport financial sustainability and generate revenue through expanded eligibility under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with ultimate completion targeted for March 9, 2030. Earlier work encompasses a $1.4 million cumulative total across runway lighting rehabilitation, navigational aids installation, and operational enhancements. A June 24, 2023, formula grant addressed runway 13/31 lighting system rehabilitation and beacon and precision approach path indicator replacement to enhance safe airfield operations during low-visibility conditions, running through June 23, 2027. An American Rescue Plan Act economic relief grant awarded January 7, 2022, provided pandemic-related operational assistance covering personnel costs, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, and debt service.

Combined dollars obligated across all twelve awards total $3.9 million. One award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Activity shows episodic frequency—one award in 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively, two in 2020, and one in 2026—reflecting project-specific timing rather than sustained operational volume.
