Clay County Board Of County Commissioners

Clay County Board of County Commissioners, located in Green Cove Springs, Florida, is a local government entity that has established itself as a significant recipient of federal grant funding across multiple mission-critical areas. As a U.S. local government authority, the County Commissioners serve the residents of Clay County by administering various public services and community development initiatives funded through federal grants. The organization has maintained an active SAM.gov registration since July 2009 and currently holds a registration valid through August 2026, positioning it as an established and compliant federal grant recipient.

The County Commissioners have demonstrated substantial capacity in managing federal grants across four primary functional areas: emergency services and fire department staffing, community and economic development, public health and substance abuse prevention, and infrastructure improvements. In emergency services, the organization has received multiple SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grants from FEMA totaling over $16 million across multiple award cycles (2022-2029), as well as Assistance to Firefighters Grants and Emergency Management Performance Grants to enhance fire department staffing, equipment, and emergency response capabilities. For community development, the County has consistently received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development since at least 2021, supporting housing, economic development, and livable communities for low- and moderate-income residents. The organization also received a $337,440 Overdose Prevention and Education Program grant from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment to expand opioid intervention services, including naloxone distribution and warm handoff programs for individuals with opioid use disorder. Additionally, the County obtained a Safe Streets and Roads for All Program grant from the Federal Highway Administration to develop a countywide safety action plan. Beyond prime awards, Clay County has been a sub-recipient of numerous federal grants administered through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management, State Department of Transportation, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement, receiving support for disaster recovery, infrastructure improvements including sidewalk and intersection projects, hazard mitigation initiatives, and law enforcement overtime and equipment purchases totaling dozens of sub-awards since 2021.
