City Of Kake

City Of Kake, a municipal government entity headquartered in Kake, Alaska, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on environmental remediation, community facilities infrastructure, and rural development. The city receives no federal contracts and performs no sub-award roles; all ten awards in the source record are held at the prime-recipient level.

City Of Kake's federal award portfolio spans five funding agencies, with concentration split between the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service (six awards across Community Facilities and parent RHS programs) and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (two awards). The EPA awards, the most recent and largest in absolute value, center on brownfields remediation and cleanup of the former Kake Elementary School. On October 1, 2023, EPA Region 10 issued a Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.202, Congressionally Mandated Projects program) with a completion deadline of September 30, 2027, authorizing the city to conduct remediation activities under CERCLA 104(k)(3) at the former school site. The city will competitively procure and direct a qualified environmental professional, create a community involvement plan and administrative record, and report progress through EPA's Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES), with anticipated deliverables including four community meetings, one brownfields cleanup-alternatives analysis, and sixteen quarterly reports. More recently, on April 1, 2026, EPA Region 10 awarded the city a $3.614 million Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) for comprehensive demolition of the former elementary school building, remediation of PCB-contaminated soil, and site restoration under oversight of a qualified environmental professional, with hazardous waste transported by barge to an approved disposal facility in Washington State and ultimate completion by September 30, 2027.

The source records combined potential value of only $19 thousand across all ten awards, but obligated dollars total $6 million — a dynamic reflecting awards either completed in prior years or carrying multi-year funding commitments with front-loaded obligation rates. Activity frequency is sparse and irregular, with single awards in most years and two awards each in 2025 and 2026. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The city holds no contracts, sits on no federal vehicle, and engages in no subcontracting; the award footprint is entirely grant-based, municipal-scale community development and environmental remediation work.
