Walhalla Municipal Airport Authority

Walhalla Municipal Airport Authority, a U.S. local government entity and airport authority headquartered in Stanley, Manitoba, operates as a federal grant recipient funding airport infrastructure improvements in North Dakota through the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region. The authority has received six project grants totaling $1.7 million obligated since August 2024, all from a single customer agency, and operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no prime contract awards or subcontract work in the federal footprint captured by the source.

The vendor's grant portfolio centers on two multi-phase airport infrastructure projects. The first is a phased hangar construction initiative spanning four separate grants: a $356,345.56 award (August 2024, CFDA 20.106 Airport Improvement Program) for Phase 1 site work, electrical, and mechanical components; a $666,526.67 award (August 2024, CFDA 20.106) for Phase 2 construction of 3,929 square feet of the 5,600 square foot hangar; a $125,705.26 award (May 2025, CFDA 20.106) for Phase 3 construction of 741 square feet; and a $157,767.37 award (August 2025, CFDA 20.106) for the final phase of 930 square feet. Prior phases of this hangar development were funded through approximately $1.3 million in earlier FAA grants not separately itemized in the recent award source data. The second project involves airport master planning: a $283,190.53 award (July 2026, CFDA 20.116 Airport Improvement Program) for Phase 2, consisting of an airport AGIS survey and narrative report with updated airport layout plan, and a $118,809.47 award (July 2026, CFDA 20.117 Airport Infrastructure Grants program) for Phase 1 inventory of existing facilities and public involvement programming. All work is performed in North Dakota with completion dates extending through July 2030.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across 2024, 2025, and 2026. The authority operates as the prime grant recipient on all six federal awards, with no subcontract activity in federal programs. Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards originate from the FAA Great Lakes Region — reflecting the authority's status as a municipal airport operator dependent on federal airport-improvement and infrastructure-grant programs. The grant portfolio is oriented toward capital improvements that enhance the airport's revenue-generating capacity and operational self-sustainability rather than ongoing operations or services contracting.
