The Cooperstown Municipal Airport Authority is a U.S. local government entity located in Cooperstown, North Dakota, registered in SAM.gov and focused on airport infrastructure management and development. As a municipal airport authority, the organization is responsible for maintaining and improving airport facilities to ensure safe and efficient aviation operations in the region.

Through federal grant awards, specifically the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the Cooperstown Municipal Airport Authority has secured three significant grants totaling $2,209,413.16 between September 2024 and September 2025. These grants are exclusively focused on critical airport infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion projects, including runway rehabilitation (3,500 feet of Runway 13/31), taxiway improvements (1,400 feet of Taxiway A), apron pavement rehabilitation (approximately 19,250 square yards), and construction of a new 164-foot south taxilane to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area. All grants were awarded by the FAA's Great Lakes Region, with project completion dates ranging from September 2028 to September 2029, demonstrating a strategic, phased approach to airport infrastructure enhancement that aims to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and bring the airport into compliance with current aviation standards.
