Wayne County Airport Board

Wayne County Airport Board, doing business as Mag V Aviation, operates as a U.S. local government airport authority based in Monticello, Kentucky, and receives federal grants as the direct recipient under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program to fund airfield infrastructure, terminal development, and master planning work at Wayne County Airport.

As a public-sector airport authority rather than a federal contractor, Mag V Aviation's federal footprint consists entirely of grant receipts, not contracts. The vendor has received nine Federal Aviation Administration project grants under CFDA 20.106 (Airport Improvement Program) and related supplemental appropriations since 2021, all awarded through the FAA Southern Region. Combined obligated funding across these grants totals $1.4 million, with all awards concentrated within a single customer agency: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region. The vendor acts as a prime recipient on all awards; there are no sub-award relationships in the source data.

Recent grant activity spans terminal infrastructure development, airfield drainage improvements, and master planning. A $454,967.37 grant awarded July 31, 2026, funds Phase 3 construction of a new nonrevenue-producing terminal parking lot through July 30, 2030. Two related grants from September 4, 2025—totaling $289,791.58—fund Phase 1 design and bidding for a new 1,600-square-foot passenger and baggage terminal, scheduled for completion by September 3, 2029. A $231,631.58 grant awarded July 18, 2025, covers the final phase of the airport master plan update, including geospatial survey work and airport layout plan completion through July 17, 2029. Earlier work includes two drainage system improvement grants ($166,666.67 awarded September 12, 2024, and an earlier phase awarded September 7, 2023) to construct and improve apron drainage controls to FAA design standards. A November 30, 2021, grant provided COVID-19 pandemic economic relief funding under the American Rescue Plan Act and Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act for operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service costs.

Grant activity shows episodic rather than continuous funding flow: three awards in 2021, a one-year gap, one award in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. Multiple grants reaching ultimate completion between now and July 30, 2030, will create natural recompete windows for master plan updates, design phases, and construction phases as Wayne County Airport pursues its terminal modernization initiative.
