Logansport Cass County Airport Authority

Logansport Cass County Airport Authority, a municipal airport authority based in Logansport, Indiana, is a federal grant recipient that receives funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airport infrastructure improvements and operational support, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no federal contracting or subcontracting activity in the source footprint.

The Authority's federal grant portfolio centers on FAA-funded airport capital projects under two primary programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), with all recent work executed through the FAA's Great Lakes Region office. The Authority has received seven grants across multiple phases of a comprehensive west apron expansion project, with individual awards ranging from $109,403 to $3.11 million funding successive design and construction phases. Recent representative work includes a $3.11 million Airport Improvement Program grant awarded September 18, 2025, to construct a primary outfall drainage system with two detention basins designed to eliminate airport ponding and bring the facility into FAA conformity standards, scheduled for completion by September 2029; a $156,535 Airport Infrastructure Grants award dated April 7, 2026, funding the final 1,144 square-yard phase of the broader 3,070 square-yard west apron expansion, with completion targeted for April 2030; and a $144,210 Airport Improvement Program grant from May 8, 2025, covering the second phase of the apron expansion project. The Authority also secured grants for taxiway rehabilitation and realignment (including a $314,414 Phase 1 design grant from August 2024), perimeter wildlife fencing (grant issued July 2024), and environmental assessment work evaluating impacts to the taxiway and drainage improvements (awarded July 2023). An American Rescue Plan Act economic relief grant of unspecified amount was awarded August 2, 2021, to support pandemic-related airport operations and facility cleaning.

Customer concentration is entirely with the FAA, which accounts for all 22 grants in the source footprint. The Authority's activity has been episodic, with clusters in 2024 (three awards) and 2025 (two awards) and a single award recorded in 2026. Two grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the Authority to potential recompete if those programs continue. The Authority operates as a local government entity with no set-aside certifications and no prime federal contracting posture; all federal relationships are grant-based.
