Strother Field Commission

Strother Field Commission, doing business as Strother Field Airport & Industrial Park, is a local government-owned entity located in Winfield, Kansas, registered in SAM.gov since 2011. The organization operates as a U.S. local government entity that manages and maintains Strother Field Airport, serving as a critical transportation infrastructure asset for the Winfield region. As a DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), the commission focuses on airport operations, maintenance, and infrastructure improvements, primarily serving the local community and regional aviation needs through strategic federal grant-funded projects.

The organization has consistently received federal grants from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), primarily through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). Recent grant awards demonstrate a comprehensive approach to airport infrastructure enhancement, including runway surface maintenance, snow removal equipment building construction, perimeter fencing installation, and COVID-19 related economic relief. Specific projects include sealing and repairing the 5,506-foot runway 17/35 surface for $471,757.78, constructing a new 1,600 square foot snow removal equipment building with two separate $220,002.11 grants, installing 375 feet of perimeter fencing for $140,050, and receiving American Rescue Plan Act funds for operational support during the pandemic. These grants, funded by the FAA's Central Region, represent targeted investments in airport safety, operational efficiency, and infrastructure resilience, with project completion dates ranging from 2025 to 2029.
