Tioga Municipal Airport Authority

Tioga Municipal Airport Authority, a locally owned municipal airport authority based in Tioga, North Dakota, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Great Lakes Region to perform airport infrastructure planning, pavement resurfacing, and airfield lighting reconstruction at a nonprimary general-aviation facility. The authority operates as the prime recipient on all awarded grants and does not pursue federal contracting work; all twenty federal awards in the source data are project or formula grants rather than contracts.

The FAA Great Lakes Region accounts for the entirety of Tioga's federal funding activity. The source names fourteen awards from the FAA Great Lakes Region directly and six awards from the FAA without regional specification, covering 100% of the authority's recent federal grant footprint. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $10.7 million. Activity has remained flat at roughly one to two awards per year over the past five years, with the most recent grant award dated March 2, 2026.

Tioga's grant portfolio centers on phased infrastructure improvements spanning master-plan development, runway and taxiway pavement reseal and resurfacing, hangar taxilane resealing, general-aviation apron work, and taxiway lighting system reconstruction to FAA standards. Representative work includes a project grant awarded March 2, 2026, for airport master-plan updates (Phase 1 consisting of airport layout plan and narrative report, ultimate completion March 1, 2030); a project grant awarded September 2, 2025, for phased runway, taxiway, and apron resurfacing plus connector taxiway construction (completion September 1, 2029); a formula grant awarded August 6, 2024, for pavement resurfacing design and phasing (completion August 5, 2028); a project grant awarded July 17, 2024, for taxiway lighting reconstruction including conduit, counterpoise, radio controller, and regulator installation (completion July 16, 2028); and a formula grant awarded June 5, 2023, for taxiway lighting and airfield guidance-sign reconstruction (completion June 4, 2027).

Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will trigger grant closeout and potential follow-on funding cycles. Tioga operates as a 100% prime recipient with no sub-grant awards and does not serve as a subrecipient on pass-through funding from other federal grantees.
