Town Of Boiling Springs

Town Of Boiling Springs, a municipal government in Shelby, North Carolina, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for community infrastructure, transportation safety, and disaster recovery projects, with a secondary role as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. The town does not hold federal contracts or serve as a federal contractor; its entire award footprint consists of federal grant awards from civilian agencies focused on rural development and local public safety.

The town's customer concentration reflects typical municipal grant patterns. Four agencies account for 92% of recent awards: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (six awards, primarily disaster-recovery pass-throughs from North Carolina Department of Public Safety), the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (two awards), the Appalachian Regional Commission (two awards), and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (one award). Total obligated dollars across all twelve awards reach $3.2 million, with most activity concentrated in 2025 and 2026.
