Town Of Norridgewock

Town of Norridgewock, a municipal government entity and airport authority in Norridgewock, Maine, receives federal grant funding for airport infrastructure rehabilitation and emergency management activities as a prime recipient (88% of awards) and, less frequently, as a sub-recipient routed through state emergency management entities. The town operates Norridgewock Airport and applies federal grants to runway lighting reconstruction, taxiway pavement rehabilitation, snow removal equipment acquisition, and emergency response costs.

The town's federal funding is overwhelmingly concentrated in airport infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA (inclusive of its New England Region office designation) issued twelve of the town's twenty awards across the source period, anchoring the customer base. Since 2022, FAA funding has supported successive phases of the same runway and taxiway reconstruction project at Norridgewock Airport: design phase funding awarded September 5, 2023 (taxilane pavement reconstruction); a formula grant of unspecified value awarded August 9, 2022 (apron, taxiway, and runway pavement sealing and crack repair); taxilane reconstruction pavement work awarded August 23, 2024; snow removal equipment acquisition awarded August 6, 2024; and most recently, two parallel project grants awarded within five weeks of each other — the Airport Infrastructure Grants program award of $393,429.47 on February 13, 2026, and the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) award of $303,744.21 on March 23, 2026 — both for final construction phase runway and taxiway lighting and visual guidance system reconstruction, with work scheduled for completion by February 12, 2030. The FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant program issued a $204,894 project grant on August 9, 2023, for airport operations, pavement sealing, crack repair, and janitorial services. The town also received a Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development grant (awarded February 17, 2023) and ARPA-funded economic assistance from the FAA (awarded December 1, 2021). Federal Emergency Management Agency Maine issued four sub-grants to the town between April 2022 and March 2025 for emergency protective measures, debris removal, and emergency management activities. Combined obligated dollars across all prime and sub awards total $12.2 million across thirty-two awards spanning twenty-one years of activity.

Activity remains flat — two to three awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with only one award scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The town's federal grant work flows through direct FAA channels (Airport Improvement Program, CFDA 20.116; Airport Infrastructure Grants, CFDA 20.117) and FEMA, with no federal contract vehicles or commercial procurements evident in the source data.
