Marion County Parks And Recreation

Marion County Parks And Recreation, doing business as Mcparc, is a West Virginia county government entity that receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient, with no prime contract or prime grant awards in recent activity. The organization operates exclusively in a sub-recipient role across disaster recovery, nutrition, and recreation infrastructure programs, with nine sub-awards obligating $1.6 million across three distinct federal grantors since July 2024.

Mcparc's grant portfolio splits evenly between two major funding sources. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for four sub-awards supporting the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), including operating and administrative reimbursements issued between July 10 and July 13, 2025. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards accounts for four sub-awards issued between November 2025 and January 2026, covering disaster recovery work: roadway and driveway repairs, debris removal, trail repair due to disaster damage, and grant management costs. The Department of the Interior Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement issued one sub-award, a $1.6 million grant for property acquisition and development of the Mcparc Recreation & Wellness Complex, an indoor and outdoor recreational facility project awarded July 24, 2024.

Award activity has accelerated since the first sub-award in July 2024, growing from one award in 2024 to six in 2025 and two in early 2026. Mcparc's work centers on municipal recreation infrastructure development, summer youth nutrition programming, and disaster recovery — typical local government functions performed under the pass-through grant structure of state agencies. As a county entity rather than a for-profit vendor or nonprofit, Mcparc holds no SBA designations and competes under no set-aside categories; it functions as a recipient of federal dollars channeled through West Virginia state intermediaries (Division of Emergency Management, Department of Education, Department of Environmental Protection) rather than as a prime contractor or prime grantee bidding for federal work.
