Town Of Wellsville

Town of Wellsville, a U.S. local government entity and township based in Wellsville, New York, receives federal grants as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure modernization and emergency management work under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related disaster-relief and economic-development initiatives. The vendor does not hold federal prime contracts or contract vehicles; all federal transacting occurs through grant awards and sub-award participation.

The town operates exclusively as a grant recipient (85% of recent awards) with minimal sub-recipient involvement (15%), primarily channeling work to local implementation rather than to third-party subgrantees. The vendor has received $12.6 million in combined federal obligations across 34 awards since 2004, with award activity concentrated in the past five years following a period of lower volume from 2021 through 2023.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Federal Aviation Administration, which accounts for 27 of 34 total awards (79% of the award count). Sixteen awards flow through the FAA's Eastern Region office, eleven through the FAA proper, with the remaining awards distributed across the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters (5 awards), the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (1 award), and the Appalachian Regional Commission (1 award). Recent FAA grants include a $1.6 million formula grant awarded August 26, 2025, for reconstruction of 7,500 square yards of deteriorated North Apron pavement at Wellsville Airport (completion August 25, 2029), a $135,196 project grant for an airport-wide obstruction survey (same completion window), a $145,537 formula grant from May 2023 for taxiway pavement rehabilitation design, and a $1.03 million project grant from August 2022 for acquisition of 4.5 acres adjacent to the airport for future development. A second phase of the hangar reconstruction project began as a $1.2 million award on August 13, 2026, funding construction inspection through August 12, 2030. The town also holds a $1.03 million land-acquisition grant and has received over $4 million cumulatively under the Airport Improvement Program and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act programs since the program's inception at the town level. Sub-award participation is minimal; the town received one sub-award on April 13, 2023, as a sub-recipient under the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for Dyke Creek Levee Permanent Repairs (FEMA disaster work). Award activity has remained modest (three awards in 2021, two each in 2022 and 2023, three in 2025, and one through mid-2026), reflecting the episodic nature of infrastructure grant cycles and local disaster response funding.
