As a U.S. local government entity, McLaughlin has been actively engaged in federal grant programs, primarily focusing on airport infrastructure development and economic resilience. The city's primary federal grant interactions have been with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), specifically through the Airport Improvement Program, which supports local transportation infrastructure enhancement.

The city has received multiple federal grants totaling approximately $1,265,000 between 2021 and 2025, all centered on developing and improving the local airport's infrastructure and operational capabilities. These grants have funded a comprehensive airport hangar construction project in multiple phases, with the ultimate goal of creating a 4,800 square foot aircraft storage and maintenance facility designed to generate revenue and make the airport more self-sustaining. Additionally, McLaughlin received COVID-19 related economic relief grants through programs like the American Rescue Plan Act, Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which provided funding for airport operational costs, personnel expenses, cleaning, sanitization, and pandemic response measures. The FAA's Great Lakes Region has been the consistent funding agency for these grants, supporting the city's efforts to modernize and sustain its local airport infrastructure.
