Coahoma County Mississippi

Coahoma County Mississippi, operating through its Chancrey Clerk's Office, is a U.S. local government entity that acts as a federal grant recipient for infrastructure, airport operations, and emergency watershed management programs. The county receives federal assistance rather than competes for contracts; its federal footprint is rooted entirely in grant awards from civilian agencies focused on regional development, transportation infrastructure, and disaster response.

Coahoma County's grant portfolio spans thirteen distinct federal agencies, concentrated heavily in airport infrastructure and property management. The top funding sources by both award count and potential value are the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (28 combined awards, $12.4 million potential value), the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region (13 awards), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (4 awards). Recent representative grants include a $610,739.25 Cooperative Agreement from the Natural Resources Conservation Service under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923) for road and bank stabilization across multiple damage survey sites, effective through September 2026; two complementary FAA Airport Improvement Program awards totaling approximately $337,186 for acquisition and installation of an Automated Weather Observing System Type III-P/T at Clarksdale Regional Airport, completing July 2029; paired FAA runway rehabilitation grants totaling approximately $405,000 for 5,404 feet of runway 18/36 pavement work at Clarksdale, completing August 2028; a $2,088,235 Delta Regional Authority Project Grant for site improvements and infrastructure in Clarksdale, completed September 2024; and a $238,140 FAA apron expansion grant from July 2023. Coamba County also received an Economic Development Administration Project Grant in May 2024 supporting road and waterline improvements that anchored a Canadian boat manufacturer's foreign direct investment and creation of at least 56 full-time jobs, with private capital commitment of at least $8.3 million.

The county acts as prime recipient on 97% of its awards, with four sub-awards routed through the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency for disaster-related assistance. Activity has remained moderate and episodic—between one and four awards per year over the past five years—with only two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all 141 awards stands at $28 million, with $15.6 million obligated, indicating substantial federal investment in regional airport operations and emergency response infrastructure. The county's reliance on GSA's Basic Ordering Agreement GS04B40013 (103 task orders, $24.9 million potential value) reflects its role as a lessor of nonresidential buildings and manages federal property leasing relationships at the national level, though detailed characterization of those relationships is not present in the source.
