County Of Crenshaw

County Of Crenshaw, doing business as Court House, is a U.S. local government entity (county) based in Luverne, Alabama, that receives federal grants for rural community infrastructure and public safety projects as a prime recipient, with limited sub-grant participation. The entity is not a federal contractor and does not bid on federal contracts; all federal activity flows through grant programs administered by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Justice.

County Of Crenshaw has received seven federal awards across its tracked history, with four serving as prime recipient (57% of the footprint) and three as sub-recipient (43%). Combined obligated dollars total $1.7 million. Activity is sparse and episodic: three awards in 2010, then a gap until 2022–2024, with a recent $1.0 million prime grant award in April 2026. The top three customer agencies by award count are the Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service (3 awards), the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (1 award), and the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (1 award), covering 71% of the awarded footprint.

Recent prime grant work centers on rural community facility development. The most recent prime award, issued April 8, 2026 by USDA's Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766), carries a $1.0 million project grant designated for public safety and community infrastructure enhancement in Luverne, Alabama, with a completion date of April 8, 2028. Sub-grant activity includes sustainment of local emergency management capability (October 2024, under Department of Justice sub-award), equipment upgrades under the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (October 2023), and community block development grant funding for water and street improvements (October 2022). One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. County Of Crenshaw operates as a grant recipient only; it does not maintain federal contract vehicles, prime contract relationships, or a contractor posture in the federal marketplace.
