Montgomery County Board Of Commissioners

The Montgomery County Board Of Commissioners, a Georgia county government entity headquartered in Mt. Vernon, operates as a recipient in the federal grant space, securing funding from five distinct federal agencies across infrastructure, emergency response, and community facilities work. The vendor functions primarily as a sub-recipient (67% of recent awards) rather than a prime grantee, with $3.5 million in combined federal dollars obligated across twenty-seven awards dating back to 2020.

The county's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward disaster recovery and emergency management. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 17 awards (63% of the recent portfolio), reflecting post-disaster community facility rebuilding and road infrastructure repair work flowing through the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency as the prime grantee. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Community Facilities program anchors six awards, and single awards appear from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, the Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing, and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.

As a prime recipient, the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners holds a $223,050 grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939), awarded on May 13, 2026, to develop the Montgomery County, Georgia Vision Zero Action Plan with completion scheduled for May 13, 2029. The county also received community facility project grants from the Rural Utilities Service and the Community Facilities program between June 2022 and August 2022. As a sub-recipient under Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, the county participates in countywide roads and culverts repair groups (numbered 806292 through 806295 and 956565), generator replacement, and drainage improvement work on Hardeman Road, Bowtie Circle, and North Old River Road, with sub-awards flowing from late 2024 through mid-2026.

Activity has grown substantially — from four awards in 2020 to nine in 2026 — with the recent surge concentrated in disaster recovery infrastructure tied to hurricane-related damage. The county's federal grant footprint reflects its role as a local government administering federal recovery and infrastructure funds rather than as a service vendor; the work centers on road repair, culvert replacement, drainage improvements, and community facility capital projects in rural Georgia.
