Clearfield Jefferson Counties Regional Airport Authority

Clearfield Jefferson Counties Regional Airport Authority (doing business as Dubois-Jefferson County Airport) is a local government entity and airport authority that receives federal grants as a prime recipient exclusively for airport infrastructure, safety improvements, and facilities management. The airport authority does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely under grant awards from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The organization is headquartered in Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania and operates Dubois-Jefferson County Airport in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, serving the Brookville area. Its federal funding footprint is narrowly concentrated: 100% of recent awards are prime grants, with zero subcontract activity. The top-customer rankings reveal heavy concentration within the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region, which has issued 18 awards in the source window. The Transportation Security Administration and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing account for secondary funding streams, though the GSA awards carry minimal dollar value ($685 thousand combined across 15 awards) and likely represent facility lease or property-management items rather than core airport operations.

The airport's grant work centers on Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) awards that fund phased infrastructure investments. Representative recent work includes a $3.1 million Phase 2 construction award (August 1, 2025) to reconstruct 840 feet of T-hangar taxilane pavement and rehabilitate 5,500 feet of Runway 7/25; a $325 thousand Phase 1 design award (June 9, 2026) for reconstruction of runway and taxiway lighting, rehabilitation of access roads, apron pavement, taxilanes, and a parking lot; a $528.7 thousand formula grant (July 15, 2026) to update the airport master plan; and a $1.5 million hangar-construction project combining new 12,000-square-foot non-exclusive-use hangar design and 2,800-square-yard apron expansion (announced August 19, 2026). Earlier grants funded aircraft rescue and fire fighting equipment acquisition, runway visual guidance system installation, obstruction removal, and pavement sealing. All work is performed at Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, and all ultimate completion dates extend through 2030.

Activity is modest and episodic: four awards in 2026, two in 2025, three in 2024, one each in 2023 and 2022. Combined potential value across all 136 awards in the source window stands at $2.8 million, though combined dollars obligated total $12.5 million—indicating that many older awards in the portfolio have been completed and closed. Four awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete or renewal opportunity.
