City Of Goldsboro NC

City of Goldsboro, North Carolina operates as a local government entity and federal grant recipient, not a federal contractor; the municipality receives formula grants and project grants from HUD, EPA, and Department of Defense for affordable housing expansion, brownfields assessment and remediation, wastewater infrastructure flood mitigation, and community development. The City of Goldsboro holds no federal contract vehicles and has never served as a prime contractor; all federal funding flows through grant mechanisms rather than competitive procurement.

The City's grant portfolio spans four federal agencies and nine total awards (eight as prime recipient, one as sub-recipient). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the funding stream with five awards totaling approximately $225 thousand in formula grant allocations under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) and the Community Development Block Grants Entitlement program (CFDA 14.218), supplemented by a project grant of unspecified value under the Economic Development Initiative / Congressional Directed Spending authority. A $225,732 HOME formula grant effective February 10, 2026 funds affordable housing expansion including owner-occupied rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and very low-income households through September 30, 2034. The City received two grants from EPA Region 4: a $500 thousand Brownfields Multipurpose Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.818) awarded October 1, 2024 for inventory, characterization, assessment, and cleanup planning of approximately 20 Phase I and 9 Phase II environmental site assessments, extending through September 30, 2028; and an earlier EPA grant for brownfields activities. The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service Office of Economic Adjustment funded a Goldsboro Wastewater Treatment Plant flood mitigation study project grant awarded August 1, 2024 with ultimate completion January 31, 2026. A single sub-award flows from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for PFAS treatment evaluation and pilot work, awarded December 17, 2024. Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 with six awards after a gap since 2021; obligated dollars across all awards total $3.4 million against combined potential value of $57 thousand, reflecting formula-grant mechanics where disbursement occurs over multi-year performance periods rather than against a discrete award ceiling.
