Village Of Cooperstown

Village of Cooperstown, a not-for-profit municipality in Cooperstown, New York, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient across community development, public safety, and historic preservation programs. The vendor operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not federal contracting; it has not competed for federal contracts or seats on contract vehicles.

Village of Cooperstown has received six federal awards (prime and sub combined) across the past fourteen years, with activity concentrated in the past two years. As a prime grant recipient, the Village has secured funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Most recently, on August 1, 2024, ARC awarded the Village a $250,000 Project Grant under the Appalachian Area Development program (CFDA 23.002) to support economic development, workforce training, infrastructure improvements, business site development, and regional economic diversification within the 13-state Appalachian region, with ultimate completion set for July 31, 2025. Earlier, the Village was a prime recipient of a federal grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to support a Cooperstown Police Department Transparency and Accountability Initiative, awarded December 1, 2021 and completed November 30, 2024.

As a grant sub-recipient, Village of Cooperstown partners with state-level grant administrators and cultural institutions. In January 2026, the Village partnered with the Landmark Society of Western New York under a New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation sub-award to host the 2026 Statewide Preservation Conference at the Otesaga Hotel & Resort. In March 2025, the Village received two sub-awards from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for Byrne JAG Interest Law Enforcement Equipment, flowing through the federal Byrne JAG Justice Assistance Grant program.

Customer concentration spans four federal agencies: the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (3 awards), the Appalachian Regional Commission (1 award), the National Park Service (1 award), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (1 award). Combined dollars obligated across all six awards total $528 thousand, with the ARC Appalachian Area Development grant representing the largest single award at $250,000. The Village operates as a prime recipient on 50% of awards and as a sub-recipient on the remaining 50%, indicating collaborative engagement with state grant administrators and nonprofit cultural partners on federal programs. The Village has no federal contract footprint and sits on no IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide contract vehicles.
