Murray-Calloway County Airport

Murray-Calloway County Airport, a county-owned airport authority based in Murray, Kentucky, receives federal grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to fund airport infrastructure development and operational resilience, operating as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor.

The airport is a U.S. local government entity and county airport authority with no federal contract prime awards or subcontract work in its footprint. All twenty awards in the source data are federal grants administered by the FAA Southern Region, representing one hundred percent of recent activity. The airport's customer concentration is singular: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (specifically the FAA Southern Region) accounts for all ten grants tracked in the portfolio over the past several years, with combined obligations of $7.3 million across all twenty awards in the source data spanning 2008 to 2026.

The airport's recent grant work centers on hangar infrastructure and airport resilience. Two project grants awarded July 30, 2026, totaling $1.528 million combined, fund construction of a new 12,000-square-foot non-exclusive use hangar for aircraft storage designed to generate revenue and improve airport self-sustainability under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) and the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116), with ultimate completion targeted for July 29, 2030. An earlier project grant awarded August 27, 2025, funds the design phase of a similar 12,000-square-foot sponsor-owned hangar for aircraft storage and maintenance, also under expanded eligibility provisions from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. An environmental assessment project grant awarded June 20, 2022, supported National Environmental Policy Act compliance for proposed land acquisition. The airport also received American Rescue Plan Act economic assistance ($895,792.63, awarded November 17, 2021) to cover operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and pandemic mitigation costs.

Activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2020, two in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2025, and two in 2026. The airport operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracting vehicle participation, no contractor teaming relationships, and no SBA certifications applicable to its government-entity status.
