Elizabethtown Airport Board

Elizabethtown Airport Board, a U.S. local government entity located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Federal Aviation Administration's airport development and infrastructure programs, with no contracting or subcontracting footprint. The airport board has received $11.8 million in combined federal grant obligations across twenty awards since 2008, all as prime recipient under FAA programs; it operates no federal contracts and receives no federal contract work as a subcontractor.

The airport board's entire federal customer base consists of the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, specifically the FAA's Southern Region office, which has issued thirteen awards directly and seven through the parent FAA organization. Grant work centers on airport capital infrastructure — aircraft storage hangar construction and terminal expansion — funded through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), with one supplemental economic-relief award under the American Rescue Plan Act. Representative recent grants include a $833,333.33 Formula Grant from September 10, 2024, under AIP for construction of a new 5,000 square-foot T-hangar and 3,600 square-foot box hangar; a $421,052.63 Project Grant from June 23, 2025, under AIP for a 1,200 square-foot terminal expansion; a $144,210.53 Project Grant from June 23, 2025, under AIP for Phase 3 hangar construction (1,000 square feet of T-hangar); and a most-recent $157,894.74 and $144,210.53 pairing of Project Grants issued May 22 and May 13, 2026, under AIP and Airport Infrastructure Grants respectively, funding Phase 4 hangar construction (4,000 square feet combined). All current awards carry completion dates between 2028 and 2030. The airport board previously managed hangar construction projects totaling over $1.1 million and has sustained a track record of federal grant compliance and project execution across terminal and hangar infrastructure phases.

Award volume has remained flat — two awards per year in 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — reflecting the capital-project, multi-phase cadence of airport infrastructure development rather than operational or procurement demand. The airport board does not compete for federal contracts, sits on no federal IDIQs, GWACs, or other contracting vehicles, and operates exclusively as a grant-funded infrastructure recipient within the FAA's regional portfolio.
