Town Of Tangier

Town of Tangier, doing business as TGI Airport, is a U.S. local government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) located in Tangier, Virginia. As a government entity with a specific focus on airport infrastructure, the organization is primarily registered to receive federal grants, particularly from transportation-related federal agencies. The town is situated on Tangier Island, a small, low-lying community in the Chesapeake Bay known for its unique geographic isolation and traditional fishing community culture.

The Town of Tangier has received federal grant awards focused on critical infrastructure and resilience projects, primarily through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Its most recent significant award is a $415,000 Airport Improvement Program grant (CFDA 20.106) to fund essential airport infrastructure improvements, including resealing 13,500 square yards of apron pavement, 150 feet of Taxiway A pavement, and 2,426 feet of Runway 2/20 pavement. Additionally, the entity has received sub-grants for innovative energy infrastructure, specifically a feasibility study and preliminary design for a microgrid power system on Tangier Island, awarded in March 2022 in collaboration with the Emergency Management Department. These grants demonstrate the Town of Tangier's commitment to maintaining critical transportation infrastructure and exploring sustainable energy solutions for its remote community.
