Town Of Burgaw

Town Of Burgaw, a North Carolina municipality, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting emergency response and infrastructure resilience, with a small secondary role as a sub-recipient on disaster recovery and environmental programs. The town is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Burgaw, North Carolina, and operates under the parent entity classification with one named subsidiary, City Of Inc. (Burgaw).

Town Of Burgaw's federal footprint centers on FEMA grant programs. The town received a $1,577,027.88 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program (CFDA 97.083) on March 19, 2026, with completion slated for March 18, 2029. This three-year award directly funds the hiring of new frontline firefighters and recruitment and retention support for volunteer firefighters at the Burgaw Fire Department, addressing staffing gaps to maintain robust emergency response capacity across the jurisdiction. The town also received a separate Project Grant from FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grants program, awarded on September 27, 2025 and running through September 26, 2027, supporting additional fire department operational capacity. Beyond FEMA, the town holds four awards from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service and two awards from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services, positioning rural housing and community development as a secondary federal relationship. One award from the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service and one from EPA Region 4 round out the customer mix.

Across recent years, award activity has been sparse and episodic — the source captures eleven total awards spanning 2007 to 2026, with only five awards placed in the past five calendar years (2020, 2024, 2025, 2026). The town acts as prime recipient on nine awards (82%) and sub-recipient on two, with the sub-award work routed through the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (disaster recovery) and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (Burgaw Service Line Inventory with 120 watt implementation). The combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source total $2.3 million. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The town does not hold prime positions on federal contracts or serve as a contract subcontractor; its federal footprint is grant-only and focused on meeting local emergency response and infrastructure needs rather than delivering services as a federal contractor.
