The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded $157,083 to the Pease Development Authority on September 1, 2025, under the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP, CFDA 97.056) for a project with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2028. The Port Security Grant Program funds critical infrastructure security enhancements at seaports and terminals to counter terrorism and emergency threats. While the specific products and services to be delivered under this award are not detailed in the materials provided, PSGP-funded projects typically encompass planning, operations, equipment, training, and exercise activities, including patrol vessels, communications and surveillance systems, cybersecurity improvements, security personnel, security planning, and maritime security training and exercises.

The Pease Development Authority, a municipal airport and port authority based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, serves as the prime recipient for this Project Grant award. The awardee operates within a federal funding portfolio historically concentrated on airport infrastructure development and facility management, with secondary experience managing FEMA funding streams, including recent Public Assistance sub-awards for disaster recovery work. This three-year award represents the Authority's continued investment in enhancing security capabilities at its maritime facilities in support of national port security objectives.
