Bartow County Government has been awarded three prime federal grants totaling over $31.6 million, demonstrating substantial federal investment in the county's development priorities. The most recent prime grants include a $13.45 million Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Project Grant for community infrastructure and economic development (CFDA 23.002, October 2025–September 2028), and a $17.95 million ARC grant for business site development initiatives (August 2024–June 2027). Additionally, the county received a $240,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning grant from the Federal Highway Administration to develop a comprehensive transportation safety action plan for the Cartersville-Bartow Metropolitan Planning Organization service area (July 2024–July 2026). Previously, Bartow County received Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) block grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, including funds dedicated to purchasing Naloxone spray for the Sheriff's Office jail division and broader crime prevention and control initiatives (2021–2024). As a sub-recipient, Bartow County has benefited from numerous federal transportation infrastructure and public health investments flowing through the Georgia Department of Transportation, Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, and Georgia Department of Community Affairs, supporting projects such as road resurfacing and repair at Gatewood Park, transit vehicle acquisition and operations, health department expansion for pandemic preparedness, and emergency management capacity building.
