About the company
Chouteau County, a local government entity headquartered in Fort Benton, Montana, is a federal grant recipient operating as a prime grantee (76% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants, focusing on airport infrastructure and emergency management projects in rural Montana counties.
Chouteau County's federal footprint centers on airport capital improvement and maintenance work. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region dominates its customer base, accounting for 24 awards across recent activity. Representative prime grant work includes a $701,152.63 Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) award dated August 3, 2026, for snow removal equipment acquisition and a 2,000 square foot storage building at Geraldine, Montana, with ultimate completion in August 2030; a $410,426.32 Airport Infrastructure Grants (CFDA 20.117) award dated July 22, 2026, for the same scope at Geraldine with joint funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; a $283,333.33 Airport Improvement Program grant dated August 3, 2023, for snow removal equipment at Big Sandy, Montana, completing August 2027; and multiple pavement reseal and taxiway projects at Fort Benton, Geraldine, and Big Sandy airports dated May 2025, February 2025, and June 2023, respectively. Chouteau County also received pandemic relief grants under the American Rescue Plan Act (January 2022) supporting operations and emergency response at local airports, and an automated weather observing system (AWOS) installation grant at Fort Benton dated June 15, 2023.
Sub-recipient activity includes pass-through grants from the Montana Department of Health and Human Services for immunizations, public health surveillance initiatives (PHSI), epidemiology (EPI), public health emergency preparedness (PHEP), and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, as well as emergency management and disaster response sub-awards. A notable sub-award dated October 1, 2024, provides $60,000 for a 150-kilowatt emergency generator at the Chouteau County Law Enforcement building to support critical functions including the detention center, sheriff administration, 911 communications, and public health operations.
Recent activity has declined from seven awards in 2023 to three annually in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The combined potential value across all 55 awards is $114 thousand, though obligated dollars total $17.3 million, reflecting significant funding realization on completed projects.
