City Of Green Bay

City Of Green Bay, a U.S. municipal government entity headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across transit operations, affordable housing, environmental infrastructure, and community development — competing exclusively for formula and project grants rather than contracts, with no federal contract prime or subcontract presence.

The city's federal footprint consists entirely of grant work distributed across nine federal agencies. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) dominates the portfolio, accounting for 43 awards spanning operating assistance, preventative maintenance, fleet modernization, and specialized transportation services. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development ranks second with 34 awards covering the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), Community Development Block Grants (CFDA 14.218), and related affordable housing activities. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has issued 8 awards, including $2.4 million in project grants under the Geographic Programs — Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) for waterfront restoration at Bay Beach Amusement Park and Shipyard redevelopment, and a $500 thousand cooperative agreement under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818). The EPA issued an additional 6 awards for green infrastructure and stormwater management. The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management has awarded 5 grants, and the Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and National Endowment for the Arts account for smaller portions of activity.

Recent FTA awards exemplify the city's transit-modernization trajectory. In March 2026, the city received $3.679 million under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) to procure two 35-foot battery electric buses, install charging infrastructure, provide workforce development training, and manage the project through December 2028. In September 2025, the city received $740,416 under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (CFDA 20.513) for mobility management, program administration, operating assistance, and vehicle capital replacement through the contracted service provider Curative Connections, running to March 2029. A September 2025 FTA award of $215,505 funds fare-system replacement through March 2028. HUD affordable housing awards include a $468,186 HOME Investment Partnerships award from September 2025 (completion September 2034) supporting rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, and rental housing acquisition; complementary Community Development Block Grant allocations support economic opportunity activities. The city acts as pass-through recipient for grant sub-awards to state agencies and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, channeling design and construction funds for Fox River resilience and habitat projects.

Activity has remained consistent, ranging from seven to eleven awards annually over the past five years, with 108 total awards in the source record and $163.9 million in combined obligated dollars. Six awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete and continuation-application opportunity. Across its grant footprint, the city does not hold federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs and does not subcontract on prime federal contracts — it operates exclusively as a grant recipient directly funded by federal agencies or as a sub-recipient of state pass-through grants from Wisconsin agencies that serve as intermediary grantees.
