Town Of Brownfield

Town Of Brownfield, a U.S. municipal government entity headquartered in Brownfield, Maine, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively as a prime recipient of rural community development funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and as a sub-recipient of disaster-relief grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The municipality does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor on any federal contract vehicles.

Town Of Brownfield's federal footprint is narrow and grant-focused. Over the past three years, the municipality has received five total federal awards — one as a prime grant recipient and four as a sub-recipient — with a combined obligated value of $3.1 million. The top two customer agencies account for 80% of awards: the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program (three sub-awards) and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (one prime grant award). The municipality's single prime award is a $2.9 million Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766), awarded April 7, 2026, with a completion deadline of April 7, 2028. This congressionally delegated community project grant supports development of essential community facility infrastructure in rural Maine, including fire protection, police and rescue services, healthcare, education, and utility services.

In its sub-recipient role, Town Of Brownfield has received federal grant sub-awards from the Emergency Management Agency Maine, the prime grantee. Three sub-awards target road repairs; a fourth (awarded March 30, 2023) supported emergency management activities. Activity has been modest and intermittent — one award in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2026 — with only one award (the RUS Project Grant) scheduled to reach completion within the next twenty-four months.
