City Of Martinsburg

City Of Martinsburg, doing business as Office Of The Mayor, is a U.S. local government entity based in Martinsburg, West Virginia that acts as the prime recipient of federal grants across community development, behavioral health, public safety, and economic development programs. The city does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor; its federal footprint is purely grant-recipient activity.

Martinsburg's grant portfolio centers on housing and community development entitlements from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development is the dominant customer, accounting for 41 of 60 awards spanning multiple formula and project grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlements (multiple annual allocations since 2022 through 2033), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (multiple allocations, most recent $514,612.56 awarded September 11, 2025, through September 30, 2034), and Economic Development Initiative community project funding. The city also holds a $172 thousand Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant from the Federal Highway Administration (awarded July 16, 2026, through November 16, 2029) to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan addressing roadway fatalities and serious injuries in Martinsburg.

Recent substantive grant work includes behavioral health and criminal-justice-adjacent social services. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $749,432 on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.532) to establish the Martinsburg Mobile Crisis Integration Partnership, expanding mobile crisis and co-response capacity across Martinsburg and Charles Town, West Virginia through September 29, 2030, with the city partnering with the Martinsburg Initiative as a subrecipient. The Bureau of Justice Assistance funded the city's FY23 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) grant at $1.3 million (awarded October 5, 2023, through September 30, 2027) to expand substance use prevention and police social work programming, including two police social workers, school-based social workers, peer support specialists, and crisis intervention team training. Earlier economic development work included a $150 thousand Economic Development Administration grant (awarded December 6, 2021, completed December 5, 2022) for a business clustering study supporting downtown Martinsburg recovery and opportunity-zone development. Activity is sparse and declining — two awards in 2025 and two in 2026 — and five awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure for the city's community development and behavioral health programs.
