County Of Grenada

County of Grenada, doing business as Grenada County Board of Supervisors, is a U.S. local government entity based in Grenada, Mississippi that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor for law enforcement patrol services, with 91% of recent awards flowing through the county as the primary awardee. The county competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The county's customer concentration sits with the Department of Agriculture, which accounts for the plurality of recent awards across multiple sub-agencies: the Natural Resources Conservation Service (21 awards), the Rural Housing Service (12 awards), Rural Housing Service Community Facilities (7 awards), and the Rural Business Cooperative Services (5 awards). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for six awards and carries the largest dollar concentration at $946 thousand in combined potential value across the full portfolio. The top five customer agencies represent 71% of recent awards. The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration has placed four awards. Across the portfolio, the county has served twelve distinct federal agencies.

The county's primary contract vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (W912EE23A0004), valued at $500,000 and running through February 2028, against which the Corps has issued four task orders totaling $226,000 in combined potential value for law enforcement patrol services at Grenada Lake in Grenada County, Mississippi. Recent BPA calls include a March 2026 order for $59,791.50, a March 2025 order for $58,050, a March 2024 order for $56,469.75, and a March 2023 order for $51,816. These patrols support the Corps' environmental protection and water resource management missions at the lake.

The county's grant footprint is dominated by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Cooperative Agreements under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923), which fund streambank stabilization, erosion prevention, and debris removal across multiple sites in Grenada County. Recent awards include a June 2026 cooperative agreement valued at $225,678.75 for streambank stabilization along McSwine Road and Proctor Road (completion April 2027), a February 2025 award for stabilization along Long Creek Road (completion August 2026), and a February 2025 award for stabilization along Carpenter Road (completion December 2025). Earlier EWP awards funded work along Murff Drive, Graysport Crossing Road, Cherry Road, Hickory Road, and Revel Road, with completion dates spanning 2024 and 2025. The county also holds Project Grants from the Delta Regional Authority under the Delta Area Economic Development program (CFDA 90.201): a $359,400 award in September 2023 for infrastructure improvements to accommodate improved access for Hankins Lumber Company (completion September 2025), and a $509,000 award in March 2022 for transportation, job training, and public services development (completion March 2024). The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration awarded a $7,980,425 Project Grant in April 2022 for construction of a 2.4-mile, four-lane access road into the Grenada Technology Park North (completion November 2025). The county also received Cooperative Agreements from NRCS for recovery measures and debris removal under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (May and June 2023, both completed December 2023), and multiple Project Grants from the USDA Community Facilities program (July 2021) and a Rural Business Cooperative Services grant (June 2023).

Activity has remained relatively stable across the past five years, with seven awards in 2022, eight in 2023, ten in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 through mid-June. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $60,000. The county acts as a sub-recipient on disaster assistance grants from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, including a $763,709.60 Public Assistance award in August 2025 and earlier Hazard Mitigation and Public Assistance sub-awards in 2022.
