Town Of Erwin Industrial Development Agency

Town Of Erwin Industrial Development Agency, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Painted Post, New York, functions as a grant recipient (92% of recent awards) for federal airport infrastructure development and emergency management programs, with no federal contract prime or IDIQ vehicle participation. The agency operates the Corning Airport and acts as the recipient of Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program and Airport Infrastructure Grants awards, channeling federal funding into runway rehabilitation, apron expansion and rehabilitation, aircraft hangar construction, taxiway reconstruction, and airfield safety equipment acquisition at the local municipal airport.

The agency's federal footprint concentrates entirely within Department of Transportation programs. The FAA Eastern Region accounts for 18 awards across the visible portfolio, with five additional FAA awards bringing the Department of Transportation total to 23 of 26 awards (88% coverage). The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration account for the remaining two awards. The agency holds no position on government-wide vehicles, GWACs, or interagency IDIQs — its federal work flows exclusively through direct grants rather than contract task orders or blanket purchase agreements.

Recent grant work reflects sustained investment in Corning Airport infrastructure. A $195,678.95 Airport Infrastructure Grants award (CFDA 20.117) issued August 11, 2026, funds Phase 1 design work for apron rehabilitation and expansion — expanding the transient aircraft apron by 870 square yards and rehabilitating 16,350 square yards of existing apron pavement, with performance running through August 10, 2030. A $770,474.74 Airport Improvement Program formula grant (CFDA 20.106) awarded July 30, 2025, funds final-phase construction of runway rehabilitation on 3,269 linear feet of Runway 13/31, scheduled through July 29, 2029. A $151,773.33 Airport Improvement Program project grant awarded February 29, 2024, supports construction of a new 4,900-square-foot two-unit aircraft hangar and rehabilitation of 1,333 square yards of airport parking lot pavement through February 28, 2028. Earlier design-phase work included a formula grant for taxiway reconstruction, edge lighting system replacement, and wind cone and segmented circle installation (awarded September 13, 2022), and a project grant for snow removal equipment acquisition (awarded September 12, 2022). The agency holds a minor subgrant footprint under the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, having received two sub-awards for demolition and roads-and-culverts work in 2022 and 2023.

The vendor's award trajectory is sparse and episodic — one award per year from 2023 through 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all visible awards totaling $5.8 million. The agency does not compete for federal contracts, operate under set-aside categories, or maintain sub-relationships with private contractors; it acts solely as a municipal grant recipient managing local infrastructure projects funded through federal airport development and disaster relief programs.
