Lawrence Township

Lawrence Township Board Of Supervisors, a U.S. local government entity based in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, functions as a sub-recipient of federal grant funding for streambank protection, public safety equipment, and highway safety programs, with minimal prime-grant activity and no federal contracting presence.

The township operates as a sub-recipient on 94% of its recent awards (15 of 16 total), receiving pass-through funding from state-level prime grantees rather than holding direct federal agreements. Its single prime-grant award is a cooperative agreement from the National Resources Conservation Service dated January 5, 2026, for streambank protection work in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026 (potential value not specified in source). Sub-recipient work flows through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (nine awards across multiple years for highway safety enforcement and ARPA-Covid funding), the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime & Delinquency (three awards supporting regional police department implementation and body-worn camera procurement), and the Department of the Interior through FAA Eastern Region (one award). Combined federal dollars obligated across all sixteen awards total $261 thousand, indicating a small-scale, locally focused funding footprint.

Activity is episodic and declining. The township received two awards in 2021, four in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026. Four distinct federal customer agencies have issued or passed through awards: the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (10 awards, 63% of total), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (3 awards), the National Resources Conservation Service (1 award), and the FAA Eastern Region (1 award).

Substantive work examples include $150 thousand sub-grants from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime & Delinquency (February 2024) to support the Clearfield Regional Police Department's regionalization implementation, a $43,098 sub-grant (May 2023) for body-worn camera procurement and implementation to expand coverage to newly formed regional police departments, and pass-through highway safety enforcement funding from PennDOT dating to 2021. The township has no presence on federal contracting vehicles, no federal prime contracts, and no subcontracting relationships with federal contractors. Its federal engagement is limited to small grant sub-awards flowing through state intermediaries for local public safety and infrastructure protection.
