Henry County Commissioners Of Roads & Revenues

Henry County Commissioners Of Roads & Revenues (doing business as County Of Henry), a U.S. local government entity headquartered in McDonough, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient delivering public transit, affordable housing, community development, public safety, and transportation planning services across formula grants and project grants from HUD, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The county operates as both a prime recipient (54% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from state agencies (46% of awards), with no federal contract prime or contract vehicle participation.

The county's federal grant footprint spans fifteen distinct customer agencies across multiple program areas. Housing and Urban Development dominates the prime recipient volume: 19 awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development cover three concurrent formula grants under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) — including a $450,812.87 award obligated January 7, 2026, and a $453,735.39 award obligated October 25, 2024 — and multiple Community Development Block Grant (CDBG, CFDA 14.218) formula awards running through 2033. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs follows with 16 awards through the Bureau of Justice Assistance, principally Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding to the Henry County Police Department and Sheriff's Office for officer training, ballistic protective equipment, and de-escalation programs, with awards obligated October 1, 2023, and October 1, 2022. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families channels 13 awards as sub-recipient pass-throughs (primarily Community Services Block Grant funding via Georgia Department of Human Services) to support low-income household services and self-sufficiency programs. The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded a $3.625 million formula grant (CFDA 20.507) obligated April 16, 2026, for a fixed-route local bus service between Stockbridge and McDonough, Georgia, with service integration to Piedmont Henry Hospital and regional commuter connections; the award covers three years of operating, maintenance, and start-up capital costs through March 30, 2034. The Department of Energy provided an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG, CFDA 81.042) awarded January 1, 2024, for energy reduction and efficiency initiatives. The county also holds a Smart Grants project award from the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (awarded July 15, 2024, completion February 14, 2026) focused on advanced smart city technology demonstration and a Federal Highway Administration project grant (awarded July 11, 2024, completion December 31, 2025) to develop a comprehensive safety action plan with the cities of McDonough and Locust Grove. The top five customers (HUD's CPD office, DOJ/BJA, HHS/ACF, DOT/FTA, and DOJ/OJP) account for 58% of recent awards.

Sub-recipient activity reflects substantial pass-through funding from state agencies, particularly the Georgia Department of Transportation (road resurfacing and improvement projects: Rock Quarry Road, SR 81, SR 42, Jonesboro Road, Camp Creek Trail), the Georgia Department of Human Services (coordinated transportation services for regional human services clients, CSBG programming), and the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (juvenile justice incentive grants, behavioral health deflection, opioid/stimulant substance abuse programs). The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency channels disaster recovery, emergency protective measures, and COVID-19 vaccine-site funding. Over the past five years, award volume has grown from five in 2022 to a peak of nineteen in 2024, with 113 total awards since 2007 and a combined $100.2 million obligated. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with limited near-term recompete exposure at the prime recipient level given formula-grant continuity structures. The county's grant portfolio reflects typical municipal and county government participation in federal human services, housing, transportation, and public safety programs rather than contract procurement activity.
