Northwood Municipal Airport Authority

Northwood Municipal Airport Authority, a U.S. local government airport authority based in Northwood, North Dakota, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to design and construct airport infrastructure improvements, operating as a prime recipient under Airport Improvement Program and Airport Infrastructure Grants awards.

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated entirely with a single customer: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region, which has issued ten awards (100% of recent federal activity) totaling $3.3 million obligated across the past five years. All awards are structured as project or formula grants; Northwood does not hold prime contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

Recent grant work spans airport infrastructure modernization. In July 2026, FAA awarded $490,933.68 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for Phase 2 construction of a 5,328-square-foot non-exclusive use aircraft storage hangar—a 3,073-square-foot phase designed to generate revenue and support airport self-sustainability, with ultimate completion by July 2030. The same month, FAA issued $369,442.11 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) for Phase 3 of the hangar facility (1,679 square feet), also due July 2030. In June 2025, the authority received $1 million under the Airport Improvement Program to construct a 650-square-foot passenger terminal facility, scheduled for completion by June 2029. August 2025 brought a $103,000 project grant (CFDA 20.106) for Phase 1 design services on the hangar project, completion August 2029. Earlier awards funded apron expansion (6,600 and 6,935 square yards to meet FAA design standards), taxiway extension (518 and 540 feet), runway and taxiway lighting rehabilitation, and wind cone replacement under grants issued July 2023 and September 2022. A December 2021 American Rescue Plan Act project grant provided economic relief for airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and sanitization costs, due December 2025.

Two grants (combined value not segregated in source) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months: the December 2021 ARPA award (December 2025 completion) and the September 2022 multiphase infrastructure design grant (September 2026 completion). Activity shows no sustained growth trajectory—three awards in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, none in 2024, and two in 2025–2026. All work is performed in Northwood, North Dakota.
