About the company
Northwest Regional Airport Authority, doing business as Cherry Capital Airport, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Traverse City, Michigan that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure modernization and air-service development initiatives. The vendor does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a prime contractor or subcontractor on contract vehicles; all federal engagement flows through Federal Aviation Administration grant programs under the Department of Transportation.
Cherry Capital Airport's federal footprint consists entirely of project and formula grants from the FAA's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Small Community Air Service Development Program (CFDA 20.117), administered through the Great Lakes Region and the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation. Recent grant work includes a $14.7 million FAA project grant awarded July 31, 2026, to expand the terminal apron by 20,000 square yards in Phase 2 of a comprehensive expansion project; a $6.2 million FAA project grant awarded August 12, 2026, to replace heating and air conditioning systems across 93,000 square feet of the existing terminal as the final construction phase; a $5.7 million FAA formula grant awarded August 28, 2025, to design a 68,000 square-foot terminal expansion and 35,000 square-yard apron enlargement (Phase 1); a $1.6 million FAA project grant awarded September 16, 2025, for terminal lighting construction; a $1.6 million FAA project grant awarded August 29, 2024, for flat roof and HVAC replacement across multiple terminal sections; a $5.5 million FAA project grant awarded September 5, 2023, to replace three aging passenger boarding bridges; and smaller grants for apron obstruction removal and pandemic-relief concessions assistance. The airport has secured approximately $50.3 million in combined potential value across 138 prime grants since 2003, with $107 million in cumulative obligated dollars. Activity has averaged between one and three awards annually over the past five years, with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. All work is performed in Traverse City, Michigan, in service of regional aviation infrastructure supporting the Traverse City metropolitan area.
