City Of Sherwood

City of Sherwood, doing business as Department of Finance, is a U.S. municipal government entity based in Sherwood, Oregon that acts as a federal grant recipient for environmental remediation and rural broadband infrastructure projects. The city operates as a prime recipient on federal grants and as a sub-recipient on grant awards flowing through state and federal intermediaries, with no federal contract footprint.

The city's federal grant activity centers on two primary capabilities: brownfield site remediation and rural broadband expansion. The EPA awarded the city a $5 million Cooperative Agreement under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818) in October 2024 to remediate the former Frontier Leather Tannery site through September 2028. The scope includes environmental site assessment, cleanup activities, community engagement, and quarterly compliance reporting; the city will remediate one brownfield site, conduct eight community meetings, finalize one analysis of brownfield cleanup alternatives, and submit thirty-two quarterly reports. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded the city $1 million under the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants program (CFDA 10.855) in December 2025 for distance learning and telemedicine infrastructure serving rural residents through December 2027.

The city holds a 50% split between prime and sub-recipient roles across six total awards. As a sub-recipient, Sherwood has received broadband expansion funding flowing through the Oregon Department of Administrative Services and received grant support from the Sherwood Police Department for equipment procurement (a high-roof, long-box cargo van serving as a mobile command vehicle awarded in September 2024). The city's customer agencies include the EPA Region 10, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Treasury, and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. One award—the $1 million RUS Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure by December 2027. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $15.3 million, with activity accelerating from one award in 2014 to three in 2025.
