City Of Wallowa

City of Wallowa, Oregon, is a municipal government entity that receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient for wastewater infrastructure improvements and downtown economic revitalization planning, with no prime contracts or parent vehicle seats. The city operates as a U.S. local government and municipality based in Wallowa, Oregon.

The city's federal footprint is limited to grant sub-awards with a total of five awards carrying $2.7 million in combined obligated dollars across a ten-year period. Four of the five awards (80%) are sub-awards; one appears to be a prime grant. The city has worked with a single named federal customer agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, across this limited award set. Recent activity shows sparse but steady engagement: one award in 2015, two in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2025, with the most recent award dated February 20, 2025.

The city's grant work centers on wastewater system improvements and downtown revitalization. Two sub-awards dated December 16, 2024, and February 20, 2025, fund final design and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality approval for a comprehensive upgrade to the city's wastewater infrastructure, including collection system, river lift station, headworks, lagoon system, disinfection system, and general facility improvements to meet current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements and Oregon regulations. Two companion sub-awards dated June 22 and June 23, 2023, funded a comprehensive Downtown Revitalization Plan developed with consultant support, leveraging Oregon Main Street's strategic planning methodology and community engagement to support economic vitality recovery following pandemic and natural disaster impacts. The city has participated in the Main Street Network since 2019 and used federal grant funding to advance community-identified economic development priorities.
