City Of Greenville

City of Greenville, Alabama — doing business as the City Clerk's Office — is a municipal government entity that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants, predominantly in aviation infrastructure and emergency management. The city competes for and holds grants across six distinct federal agencies, with all recent work anchored to project grants rather than contracts; Greenville has no federal contract prime or IDV vehicles and operates as a sub-recipient on a smaller share of awards (44% of the 39 total awards in recent federal funding).

Greenville's federal grant portfolio centers on airport infrastructure modernization and facilities enhancement, funded by the Federal Aviation Administration under CFDA 20.106 (Airport Improvement Program) and CFDA 20.117 (Airport Infrastructure Grants). Representative work includes a $730,059 project grant (awarded September 3, 2024, completion September 2, 2028) to rehabilitate 10,300 square yards of existing apron pavement at Greenville Airport; a $467,368 Phase 2 construction grant (awarded August 31, 2025, completion August 30, 2029) for a new 3,600 square-foot sponsor-owned hangar for aircraft storage and maintenance; and a $109,104 Phase 1 design grant (awarded August 14, 2025, completion August 13, 2029) for the same hangar project. A $114,737 final-phase hangar construction grant was awarded June 2, 2026. Beyond aviation, the city received a $600,000 cooperative agreement from EPA Region 4 (CFDA 66.818, Brownfields Multipurpose and Assessment program, awarded July 1, 2022, completion September 30, 2025) to remediate the Old Boss Building brownfield site, including environmental site assessment, community involvement planning, and quarterly progress reporting. Historical grants include an American Rescue Plan Act economic relief award (December 1, 2021) for airport operations and pandemic response costs and an Assistance to Firefighters grant from FEMA (August 4, 2021).

Customer concentration is acute. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 16 of the 39 awards (41% by count), while the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (combining Southern Region and national FAA channels) holds 17 awards (44%), collectively representing 95% of Greenville's award volume. The EPA and a smaller FEMA allocation account for the remainder. Combined obligations across all awards total $10.8 million over the source window. Award activity spiked in 2021 (19 awards, reflecting FEMA firefighting and FAA pandemic-response grants) but has declined substantially — only 1 award in 2024 and 4 in 2025 — suggesting a shift in Greenville's federal funding priorities or reduced eligibility for certain programs. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. On the sub-recipient side, Greenville receives water and sewer infrastructure funding through the Community Development Block Grant program (sub-award May 9, 2025) and sewer system improvements through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (sub-award March 1, 2025). Greenville's federal footprint is that of a small municipal entity securing project-based infrastructure and emergency-management grants, not a service provider or contractor competing on broader federal vehicles.
