City Of Vicksburg

City Of Vicksburg, a U.S. municipal government entity based in Vicksburg, Mississippi, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across watershed protection, airport infrastructure, environmental remediation, law enforcement, and cultural operations programs, with no federal contracting footprint. The city's federal award activity centers on cooperative agreements and project grants from the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Program, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works division.

Vicksburg's grant portfolio is heavily weighted toward emergency watershed protection and airport pavement rehabilitation. The Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923) dominates recent activity, with fourteen cooperative agreements totaling road and bank stabilization work across Warren County—the most recent two awards from February 2026 ($622,159.73 and $458,921.10) fund stabilization along Hennesey, Old Highway 80, Pittman Avenue, Confederate Avenue, and Highway 61, with completion targets in November and December 2026. The Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program and related vehicles fund taxiway reconstruction, apron pavement resurfacing, runway rehabilitation, and land acquisition at Vicksburg's airport, with five project grants awarded between July 2022 and August 2024 carrying multi-year performance periods extending through 2028. A $960,485 EPA Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.818) awarded in July 2023 and running through September 2027 supports environmental site assessments, remediation planning, and cleanup activities on contaminated properties. The city also holds a $200,000 Department of Justice Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grant (CFDA 16.710, awarded October 2024) funding a master's-level mental health professional through partnership with the Lincoln Center for Family and Youth to provide trauma training and therapeutic support to the Vicksburg Police Department. A July 2024 cooperative agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works division covers operations of the Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi River Museum and Motor Vessel Mississippi IV through July 2026.

The city acts as a sub-recipient in six disaster grant sub-awards from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (prime grantee) dating from November 2021 through May 2024, related to public assistance and debris removal following declared disasters. Combined potential value across all 108 awards stands at $319 thousand, though combined obligated dollars total $25.1 million—a signal that actual award values substantially exceed the potential-value reporting in the source. Four awards (combined potential value $80 thousand) reach completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The city holds no federal contracts, GSA schedules, GWACs, or IDIQs; all federal activity is grant-based. Customer concentration is broad across twenty-one agencies, with the GSA Public Buildings Service, NRCS, FAA, and FEMA leading by award count, though Army Reserve Command, Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District, and Mississippi Army National Guard carry the largest individual potential-value awards.
