County Of Chautauqua

County Of Chautauqua, a U.S. local government entity based in Mayville, New York, receives and distributes federal grant funding as a prime recipient across airport infrastructure, public health, substance use disorder treatment, environmental remediation, and social services programs, with the vast majority of its award footprint (78%) flowing through to sub-recipients via pass-through grants to New York State agencies and local organizations.

The County operates as a local government parent entity with two named subsidiaries: County Of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency and County Of Chautauqua (DOT Certified DBE). Its recent federal award activity has accelerated dramatically — from 10 awards in 2022 to 130 in 2024 and 122 in 2025 — driven by a surge in sub-award pass-throughs to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, the New York Office of Children and Family Services, and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. The combined potential value of all awards in the source data stands at $1.2 million, but obligated dollars total $204.6 million, reflecting substantial multi-year commitments across programs with legacy completion dates extending through 2029 or later.

The County's prime grant portfolio centers on Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program funding (CFDA 20.106) for phased design and construction of runway, taxiway, terminal, and signage rehabilitation at regional airports in Jamestown and Dunkirk, New York. Between August 2025 and May 2026, the County received approximately $1.8 million in FAA formula and project grants for Phase 1 design work on runway reconstruction ($472,000), taxiway rehabilitation and lighting ($143,172 and $171,215), terminal apron reconstruction ($212,000), airfield signage and markings ($469,920 and $159,000), perimeter fencing and obstruction removal ($140,760), and AFFF testing equipment ($unknown amount). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 awarded the County a $2.5 million Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202, awarded March 1, 2026) to implement sanitary sewer system improvements for the North Chautauqua Lake Sewer District, including sewer main lining rehabilitation, manhole repairs, and inflow/infiltration reduction, scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027.

The County also administers two substantial social-services and public-health prime grants: a $5.75 million four-year Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA 14.905, awarded January 15, 2025) targeting lead abatement in pre-1960 rental and owner-occupied housing in low-income neighborhoods, and a $1.3 million three-year Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (COSSUP) grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.838, awarded October 1, 2024) to implement the "Chautauqua CARES" project for substance use disorder treatment expansion, harm reduction, youth prevention, and pre- and post-booking diversion programming. The County also holds a 4-year Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Mental Health Services (awarded September 30, 2023) to implement "Chautauqua Tapestry," a system-of-care infrastructure and evidence-based services integration initiative for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances, and a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant (awarded March 9, 2024) to support the Chautauqua County Abducted, Missing, Murdered and Unidentified Women's Initiative for case investigation and forensic support.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward health and social services pass-throughs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 208 awards across the full portfolio (split into three rows in the source), representing the single largest customer. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region, and the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration round out the top customer set. The sub-award footprint is dominated by recurring monthly or quarterly pass-throughs from the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Child Care and Development Block Grant, Supplemental Security Income programs) and the New York Office of Children and Family Services to Chautauqua County as intermediary distributor to families and service providers. Eight awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure or program transition planning.
