Village Of Pinecrest

Village of Pinecrest, a municipal government entity headquartered in Pinecrest, Florida, acts as a federal grant recipient funding local infrastructure, public safety, and community development projects. The village operates predominantly as a prime grant recipient (55% of recent awards) with subordinate pass-through sub-recipient activity (45%) routed through state intermediaries, and does not participate in federal contracts or contracting vehicles.

The village's recent grant portfolio centers on transportation safety, drinking water infrastructure, emergency management, and cultural programming. Prime grant work includes a $280,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant from the Federal Highway Administration awarded February 20, 2026, which funds development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries through stakeholder engagement and data analysis, with completion by February 20, 2028. The village also received an $82,700 cooperative agreement from EPA Region 4 (awarded April 1, 2024, completing October 31, 2027) to support Project Waterline Lateral Connection, a drinking water infrastructure project providing engineering, design, and construction oversight for lateral connections from existing water mains to residential properties transitioning from well water to the county potable water system, with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department named as subrecipient for construction execution. A cooperative agreement from the Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition (awarded March 1, 2025, completing February 28, 2027) funds the Everglades Earth Cycle, a regenerative economic succession project. The village also received prior-year Project Grant awards from the National Endowment for the Arts ($282,000 for jazz training and mentorships, completed May 31, 2023) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (body-worn camera program implementation, completed November 30, 2024).

Federal Emergency Management Agency financial assistance awards represent the largest share of recent activity—four awards spanning emergency protective measures, debris removal, COVID-19 supplemental payments, and village hall disaster recovery following severe weather events. These pass through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management as prime grantee. The village also receives sub-award funding from the State of Florida Department of Transportation for the Kendall Drive Shared Use Path bike path construction project (awarded October 22, 2024).

Total obligated dollars across all prime and sub awards stand at $2.7 million, with six distinct federal agencies served. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term reporting and closeout requirements. The village's federal footprint is characteristic of small municipal government recipients—infrastructure, disaster response, and place-based programming funded through traditional federal grant programs rather than competitive contracting.
