North Hero Town Of

North Hero Town Of, doing business as Town Office, is a Vermont municipality that acts as a recipient of federal grants rather than a federal contractor; the town government operates as a U.S. local government entity and competes in open federal grant programs without SBA set-aside designations. Based in North Hero, Vermont, the town has received three federal awards across two grantor agencies in the past three years, with a combined obligated value of $645 thousand.

The town's federal footprint centers on rural infrastructure development. As prime recipient, North Hero received a $500 thousand Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) awarded November 22, 2024 and running through November 22, 2026. The grant funds drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management, and stormwater infrastructure improvements to ensure reasonable user costs and service reliability in the rural community. The town also appears in a sub-recipient role on two grants: a subgrant agreement with the Vermont Department of Public Safety dated July 15, 2026 under the State Homeland Security Grant Program to support planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs for terrorism prevention and response, and a Route 2 Water Main Replacement project sub-awarded from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation dated October 23, 2025.

Customer concentration is distributed: the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service accounts for one award and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 for one award, covering 67% of the town's award footprint. Activity has remained flat at one award per year from 2024 through 2026. North Hero operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a contracting prime, with two-thirds of its recent federal awards coming through sub-recipient relationships with state agencies or the USDA.
