Golden Valley County Airport Authority

Golden Valley County Airport Authority is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since April 2011, located in Beach, North Dakota, that serves as a critical infrastructure management organization for regional airport operations. As a county airport authority, the organization is responsible for maintaining and improving airport facilities to ensure safe and efficient aviation services for the local community. The airport primarily receives federal grant awards from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), specifically through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which supports infrastructure development, maintenance, and modernization of airport facilities.

The federal grant awards received by Golden Valley County Airport Authority have consistently focused on comprehensive airport infrastructure rehabilitation and improvement projects. These grants have funded multiple critical initiatives, including runway lighting reconstruction, taxiway pavement rehabilitation, terminal apron restoration, and installation of new navigational guidance systems. Specific projects have involved reconstructing 220 feet of taxiway pavement, rehabilitating 4,200 feet of Runway 12/30, and upgrading airfield infrastructure such as airport beacons and guidance signs. The organization has also received COVID-19 related economic assistance through the American Rescue Plan Act, which provided funding for operational costs, sanitization, and pandemic response. The grant awards, ranging from approximately $122,000 to $1.4 million, demonstrate a consistent commitment to maintaining and enhancing airport safety, accessibility, and operational standards in the North Dakota region, with all recent grants administered by the FAA's Great Lakes Region.
