City Of Lakota

The City of Lakota, operating as the Lakota Airport Authority, is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since January 20, 2010, located in North Dakota. Situated in a rural region, the city manages critical airport infrastructure and serves as a key transportation hub for the local community. As a government entity, Lakota primarily receives federal grant awards focused on airport improvement, infrastructure maintenance, and pandemic-related economic relief through various federal programs.

The Lakota Airport Authority has consistently received federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), primarily through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). These grants have funded multiple significant infrastructure rehabilitation projects, including runway, taxiway, and apron pavement reconstruction and rehabilitation. Recent awards totaling approximately $2.8 million have supported projects such as rehabilitating 3,500 feet of Runway 15/33, reconstructing 5,506 square yards of north apron pavement, and rehabilitating 738 feet of Taxiway A. Additionally, the airport received COVID-19 related economic relief grants, including American Rescue Plan Act and Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act funds to support operational costs, sanitization, and pandemic response. The city has also received sub-grants from the State of North Dakota for emergency protective measures and from the North Dakota Department of Commerce for public facilities infrastructure, demonstrating its ability to collaborate with state-level agencies to secure federal funding for local infrastructure improvements.
