County Of Chautauqua

County of Chautauqua, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Mayville, New York, acts as a federal grant recipient for airport infrastructure, environmental remediation, public health, and social services programs, with 21 percent of recent awards as prime recipient and 79 percent as sub-recipient flowing through New York State agencies. The county competes across civil and social-service grant programs administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services, with no federal contract prime or subcontract work in the source data.

County of Chautauqua's prime-recipient footprint centers on three capability domains. Airport infrastructure grants dominate the recent portfolio: the Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded fourteen FAA Airport Improvement Program and Airport Infrastructure Grants awards (CFDA 20.106 and 20.117) between August 2025 and August 2026, totaling approximately $8.4 million in combined potential value, funding phased design and construction work to reconstruct and rehabilitate runways, taxiways, terminal aprons, airfield signage, perimeter fencing, and lighting systems at Jamestown and Dunkirk airports, with project periods extending through 2029 and 2030. Environmental and water-quality work includes a $2.5 million Cooperative Agreement from EPA Region 2 (CFDA 66.202, Congressionally Mandated Projects) awarded March 1, 2026, to implement sanitary sewer system improvements for the North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District, including rehabilitation of sewer main linings, manhole repairs, and sewer main reconstruction through December 31, 2027. Public health and social-services grants include a $5.75 million Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA 14.905, awarded January 15, 2025, completing January 15, 2029) to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in low-income rental and owner-occupied housing in Chautauqua County, and a $1.3 million Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program grant from the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.838, awarded October 1, 2024, completing September 30, 2027) to fund the "Chautauqua CARES" project delivering substance-use disorder treatment access, harm reduction, diversion programming, and data-sharing coordination across the county.

County of Chautauqua receives sub-grant pass-through funding from New York State agencies: the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services direct 196 sub-award transfers to the county for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, child protective services, child care, and supplemental nutritional assistance programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region together account for 72 percent of total awards (322 awards), with HHS-ACF alone representing 232 awards across prime and sub roles. The source records 447 total awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million and combined obligated dollars of $221.3 million—a 19,017 percent ratio indicating substantial prior-year drawdowns and close-out activity on long-running social-services and infrastructure programs. Only five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure in the source window.

County of Chautauqua operates through two named subsidiaries: the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency and County of Chautauqua, the latter certified as a Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. The county's federal footprint is overwhelmingly sub-recipient pass-through for state-administered social programs and locally managed infrastructure projects under federal grant programs, with no participation in federal contracting or IDIQs. Recent activity increased substantially from eleven awards in 2022 to 130 in 2024, driven by volume in HHS and USDA food-assistance sub-awards, then declined to eighty-seven awards in 2026 as source data reflects only partial-year capture through August 2026.
