County Of Scott VA

County of Scott VA, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Gate City, Virginia, operates as a federal grant recipient (23% of recent awards as prime recipient) and sub-recipient (77% of recent awards) in criminal justice victim services, emergency management, and natural resource conservation. The county does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively through grant funding, primarily serving rural Virginia communities in the Appalachian region.

County of Scott VA's award footprint centers on victim and witness services delivered through criminal-justice partnerships. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs' Victims of Crime program and the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women account for 8 of 13 total awards (92% of award count). Representative work includes a January 2026 sub-recipient grant from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services to fund a full-time Domestic Violence Officer investigating domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases, with an anticipated caseload of 110 victims; a July 2025 sub-recipient grant to operate the Scott County Victim/Witness Program, providing comprehensive services to crime victims and witnesses with anticipated reach of 250+ victims and 10 witnesses, funded through two full-time personnel (a director and assistant director); and recurring July 2023 and July 2022 sub-recipient grants from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services for victim/witness services, each anticipating 300–350 victims and 10–15 witnesses annually. Beyond criminal justice, the county holds emergency-management grants including a January 2025 sub-recipient award from the Virginia Emergency Management Department for emergency generators at 10 locations and a May 2025 sub-recipient award for Scott County emergency measures. Most recently, on April 27, 2026, the Natural Resources Conservation Service awarded Scott County a $951,482.50 Cooperative Agreement under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923) for removal of debris and sediment from waterways, restoration of hydraulic capacity in affected channels, and implementation of erosion control measures, with completion scheduled for November 1, 2027.

Recent activity has remained stable at two to three awards annually across 2023–2026. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.5 million, concentrated in victim services and emergency-response work. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
