County Of Warren

County Of Warren Warren County Ttee Division is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in McMinnville, Tennessee that acts as a prime recipient and sub-recipient of federal grants focused on rural community development, criminal justice, natural resources conservation, and public health. The entity does not hold federal contracts; all federal funding flows through cooperative agreements and formula grants administered by the National Resources Conservation Service, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and pass-through agencies including the Tennessee Department of Health and the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration.

County Of Warren operates primarily as a sub-recipient (65% of recent awards) of federal grants flowing from state administering agencies rather than directly from federal sources. Its prime grant work centers on three programs: streambank stabilization projects funded by the National Resources Conservation Service (two cooperative agreements, awarded September 2024 and February 2026), and a formula grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance supporting the 31st Judicial District Adult Recovery Court Program serving Van Buren and Warren Counties since July 2004. The recovery court program targets adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring behavioral health issues, with documented success — 347 individuals graduated as of December 2020, with a 75% non-recidivism rate — and expansion goals to serve women and address the regional opioid crisis through a five-point strategy including prevention, treatment, recovery support services, and medication-assisted treatment.

Sub-award activity concentrates in criminal justice, health services, and infrastructure. County Of Warren receives sub-grants from the Tennessee Department of Health for local health services (including WIC administration, coronavirus relief facility renovations, and ELC-confinement support), from the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration for victims-of-crime services targeting child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and from the Tennessee Department of Transportation for construction and right-of-way obstruction removal. Recent sub-awards also include broadband-ready communities and connected community facilities grants (November and October 2024), and a body-worn camera micro-grant sub-awarded from Justice and Security Strategies, Inc. (October 2024).

Customer concentration is diffuse across federal and state administering agencies. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program leads by award count with ten sub-awards (58% coverage threshold includes USDA Food and Nutrition Service with five awards, USDA National Resources Conservation Service with four awards, and two Department of Health and Human Services programs — Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — with three awards each). The combined dollars obligated across all 43 awards total $7.9 million. Activity has accelerated in recent years — three awards in 2022 and 2023, nine in 2024, then five in 2025 — with only two awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

County Of Warren's corporate structure includes two subsidiaries: the Warren County Board of Education (a school district) and the Industrial Development Board of McMinnville – Warren County, Tennessee (a nonprofit organization). Neither subsidiary is named in the current federal award portfolio, and the source does not indicate whether they operate as separate federal fund recipients or administrative entities.
