Williamsport Regional Airport

Williamsport Regional Airport, a nonprofit tax-exempt entity headquartered in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airport infrastructure rehabilitation and modernization as a prime recipient, with no federal contract prime or subcontract experience.

The airport's federal footprint consists entirely of FAA grants under two principal programs. The Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) fund taxiway and runway rehabilitation, pavement markings, access road reconstruction, equipment acquisition, and facility construction at the nonprimary airport. Recent representative work includes a $1.479 million Infrastructure Grants award (August 2026) to reconstruct 750 feet of terminal access road reaching end-of-life; a $1.173 million Airport Improvement Program formula grant (May 2026) to rehabilitate 2,500 linear feet of Taxiway B; and a $418,338 Infrastructure Grants award (March 2026) to resurface 2,800 linear feet of Taxiway A and reconstruct airfield signage. Williamsport also received COVID-19 pandemic relief funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to construct an 8,660 square-foot snow removal equipment building ($5.2 million, June 2023) and design a 15,000 square-foot aircraft rescue and firefighting facility. Earlier grants funded contract tower rehabilitation ($700,000, January 2023), apron deicing pavement rehabilitation ($5,000 square yards, July 2022), and taxiway design and construction work across multiple phases.

The FAA Eastern Region is the sole meaningful customer, accounting for 29 direct Eastern Region awards in the recent portfolio; 17 additional awards flow through the broader FAA umbrella. Three awards connect to the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary Transportation. The airport has no presence on federal contract vehicles; all 127 total awards across the portfolio are FAA infrastructure grants running through the Eastern Region. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months affects five grants nearing ultimate completion dates. The airport's grant portfolio shows modest year-over-year volatility (two awards in 2022 to five in 2024, declining to three in both 2025 and 2026), reflecting the episodic nature of airport infrastructure capital projects and federal appropriation cycles rather than steady operational contracting.
