Clinton County Regional Airport Authority

Clinton County Regional Airport Authority is a U.S. local government entity located in Wilmington, Ohio, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2011, with registration valid through December 2025. As a county airport authority, the organization manages and operates the Clinton County Regional Airport, providing critical aviation infrastructure and services to the local community and regional transportation network. The airport primarily serves general aviation needs and focuses on maintaining and improving airport facilities to ensure safety, operational efficiency, and infrastructure resilience.

Through federal grant awards, primarily from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the Clinton County Regional Airport Authority has undertaken multiple critical infrastructure projects. These projects have included runway rehabilitation, such as resealing and resurfacing 3,579 feet of Runway 3/21, reconstructing the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system for the same runway, and land acquisition to control land use within the Runway 21 protection zone. The airport has also received economic relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act to support COVID-19 pandemic response, covering costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service payments. Additional grant-funded projects have involved terminal infrastructure improvements, including resealing the terminal apron pavement, reconstructing automated weather reporting equipment, and rehabilitating the terminal parking lot. All these grants have been awarded by the FAA's Great Lakes Region, with project periods typically ranging from four to five years and focusing on maintaining and enhancing airport safety and operational capabilities.
