City Of Monroe

City Of Monroe, a U.S. municipal government entity headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana, receives federal grants as a recipient (96% of recent awards) across airport infrastructure, public transit operations and capital, and community development projects, with no federal contracting footprint. The municipality is a local government entity structure and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications.

City Of Monroe's federal grant portfolio is concentrated in two transportation modal areas. The Federal Transit Administration has awarded the City 38 grants totaling operations assistance, capital equipment purchases including electric buses and replacement vehicles, facility renovations, and construction of a downtown transit center near the intersection of 8th and Desiard Street in Monroe; recent FTA awards include a $5.21 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) for transit center construction, awarded September 11, 2025 with completion by April 24, 2028, a $4.14 million Federal Transit Formula Grant for operating assistance and preventative maintenance, awarded August 19, 2025 with completion by May 12, 2027, and a $3.78 million Federal Transit Formula Grant for operating assistance and fare collection system upgrades, awarded May 13, 2025 with completion by May 1, 2027. The Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region has awarded the City 17 grants for Monroe Regional Airport infrastructure including runway pavement marking rehabilitation, taxiway construction, passenger boarding bridge reconstruction, aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment and vehicles, and airfield pavement sweeping equipment; representative FAA awards include a $2.75 million project grant for passenger boarding bridge reconstruction, awarded August 7, 2025 with completion by August 6, 2029, a $1 million formula grant for aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle acquisition, awarded September 14, 2023 with completion by September 13, 2027, and a $459,644 project grant for runway pavement marking rehabilitation under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116), awarded August 24, 2026 with completion by August 23, 2030. City Of Monroe also holds grants from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 for brownfield remediation ($872,900 cooperative agreement awarded December 4, 2023) and sewer main rehabilitation ($1+ million cooperative agreement awarded November 1, 2023), a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant for firefighter assistance, a Department of the Interior grant for historic preservation of the G.B. Cooley House prairie-style architecture project, and a rural business cooperative grant from the Department of Agriculture.

Customer concentration by award count shows the Federal Transit Administration at 38 awards (45% of the 84-award portfolio) and the Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region at 17 awards (20%), together accounting for 82% of City Of Monroe's recent federal grant activity. Combined obligated dollars across all 84 awards reach $148.9 million, significantly exceeding the combined potential value figure of $99 thousand, indicating that the source's potential-value data reflects only a subset of recent awards with stated ceilings; actual historical obligation demonstrates sustained multiyear funding commitment. Seventeen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete pipeline for both FTA operating and capital grants and FAA airport infrastructure awards. The City acts as prime recipient on all substantive awards; three sub-awards identified (one to National Main Street Center for public art and mobility planning, and two related to offsite drainage and lead hazard mitigation) represent pass-through funding rather than the City performing as a subcontractor. No federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs appear in the award portfolio; City Of Monroe's federal engagement is exclusively grant-based and recipient-driven rather than competitive procurement.
