Mayfield-Graves County Airport Board

Mayfield-Graves County Airport Board, a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Mayfield, Kentucky, receives federal grant funding as the prime recipient for airport infrastructure development and pandemic recovery under Federal Aviation Administration programs. The Board is not a federal contractor and holds no federal contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The Board's recent award activity centers on two complementary grant programs. Between 2021 and 2026, the Board received eighteen total federal awards, all from the FAA Southern Region, with combined dollars obligated of $5.7 million. The most recent awards, issued August 3, 2026, include $2,115,892.63 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) for Phase 2 construction of a 1,150-foot taxiway extension and FAA-identified obstruction removal, and $468,360 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for Phase 2 construction and Phase 3 pavement work (52,609 square feet) plus wind cone and segmented circle navigational aids installation. Both awards run through August 2, 2030. A June 2026 grant funded Phase 1 (design) of the same taxiway extension project. Earlier awards include a $294,734.74 August 2025 Airport Improvement Program grant for Phase 1 design of wind cone and segmented circle installation plus FAA-identified hazard removal; a $236,582.22 September 2023 Airport Improvement Program grant for design-phase airport apron construction, hangar construction, perimeter fencing reconstruction, and runway lighting rehabilitation; and a pandemic-relief grant awarded November 2021 under the American Rescue Plan Act to cover airport operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service during COVID-19 response. Performance takes place at Mayfield-Graves County Airport, Mayfield, Kentucky 42066. The Board's grant portfolio reflects a phased-project approach typical of FAA capital-planning cycles, with design, construction, and equipment-installation phases spread across multiple fiscal years and multiple grant programs, all focused on bringing the airport into conformity with current FAA standards and enhancing pilot safety and operational efficiency.
