Pikeville/ Pike County Airport

Pikeville/Pike County Airport, doing business as Pike County Hatcher Field, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Pikeville, Kentucky, that receives federal infrastructure grants as a recipient under the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration's airport development programs. The airport does not hold federal contracts or operate as a contractor; it qualifies exclusively as a grant recipient for airport improvement and infrastructure projects.

The airport's federal activity centers on two FAA grant programs. Under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), Pikeville/Pike County Airport received $201,592.63 on July 30, 2026, to fund Phase 1 design work for a new 10-unit non-exclusive use hangar for aircraft storage and a 22,000 square-yard apron expansion, with performance running through July 29, 2030. Under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the airport has received three grants spanning 2022 through 2023 totaling $908,947.78 to design and construct a new 3,600 square-foot box hangar for aircraft storage, maintenance, and service operations. The first 3,600 square-foot hangar grant ($571,170, awarded June 30, 2023, completion date June 29, 2027) funded the final construction phase. The second 3,600 square-foot hangar grant ($337,777.78, awarded July 27, 2023, completion date July 26, 2027) funded grading and drainage work. A formula grant awarded May 31, 2022, funded the design phase for the same hangar. All grants flow from the FAA Southern Region and target infrastructure to generate revenue and increase the airport's financial self-sustainability.

Funding concentration is complete: all 18 awards in the source data come from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (11 awards through the Southern Region, 7 through the main FAA entity). The airport holds no parent vehicles, executes no subcontracts, and operates entirely as a grant recipient. Combined dollars obligated across all awards reach $6 million. Activity is episodic; the airport received two awards in 2020 and 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, and one in 2026.
