Town Of Ticonderoga Town Hall

Town Of Ticonderoga, operating through its Supervisors Office, is a U.S. local government township that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for airport infrastructure and land preservation projects in Ticonderoga, New York. The entity has no federal contract activity and operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a competitive contractor.

The Town's federal grant footprint centers on airport capital improvement and modernization. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region has funded twelve awards under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). Representative work includes a $1,179,949 formula grant awarded August 20, 2026, to fund the final construction phase of an apron expansion at Ticonderoga Airport (adding 2,550 square yards to bring the facility into conformity with current standards, with completion targeted for August 19, 2030); a $247,434 project grant awarded August 12, 2026, for Phase 1 design of airport lighting reconstruction covering a lighting vault building, runway 2/20 lighting, taxiway A lighting, and precision approach path indicator and runway end identifier lights (all infrastructure having reached end of useful life, with period of performance through August 11, 2030); and a $151,933 formula grant awarded August 20, 2024, for Phase 1 design of a 2,300-square-yard apron expansion (completion August 19, 2028). Earlier awards funded rehabilitation of runway 2/20 pavement (4,041 feet, construction phase obligated June 23, 2023, completion June 22, 2027) and reconstruction of 8,950 square yards of main apron and 820 feet of access taxiway (construction phase obligated August 18, 2022, completion August 17, 2026), along with design-phase work for runway rehabilitation (obligated August 17, 2022, completion August 16, 2026).

The Town has also received one federal grant as a sub-recipient: a drinking water infrastructure award from the New York State Department of Health (prime grantee) obligated November 8, 2024, to fund water system improvements serving the Chilson-Eagle Lake area and ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act and a Department of Justice Consent Decree. The work includes creation of a new water district, connection to the Town's existing water system, and installation of storage tank, booster pump station, transmission main, and distribution mains.

Federal grant activity has averaged one to two awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all twenty-two awards totaling $10.1 million. Only one award (the August 17, 2026, apron expansion construction award) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Town serves four distinct federal agencies — the FAA Eastern Region and FAA headquarters (twenty awards combined), the National Park Service National Office (one Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants award of $158,048 obligated July 31, 2025, to acquire 0.5 acres at Fort Ticonderoga battlefield), and the EPA Region 2 (one sub-award).
