Union County Fiscal Court

Union County Fiscal Court, doing business as Union County Road Department, is a Kentucky county government entity headquartered in Morganfield that has been registered to receive federal awards since 2009. As a U.S. local government entity, the organization provides essential infrastructure, public safety, and administrative services to Union County residents and seeks federal funding to support capital improvements and operational initiatives across multiple departments.

Union County Fiscal Court has demonstrated significant federal grant activity focused on infrastructure modernization and economic development. The organization received three major prime grants from the Economic Development Administration totaling approximately $6.22 million, which funded critical sewer infrastructure improvements across the county, including the Job Corps Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project that rehabilitated over 67,000 linear feet of aging clay sewer pipe using trenchless methods and replaced deteriorated brick manholes from the 1940s. Additionally, the county received a COPS Hiring Program grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program beginning in October 2025 to enhance law enforcement capacity and community policing initiatives. Beyond prime awards, Union County Fiscal Court has been a sub-awardee on multiple federal grants administered through Kentucky state agencies, including child support enforcement funding from the Health Services Cabinet for multiple years (2021-2024), a cybersecurity grant from the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security (2023) that funded fiber network infrastructure upgrades and modernization to .GOV domain services, and hazard mitigation grant program planning activities from the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs related to flooding preparedness. This portfolio demonstrates the county's focus on infrastructure resilience, public safety enhancement, and modernization of critical systems supporting regional economic development and community welfare.
