Town Of Norwood Ma

Town Of Norwood Ma Town Of Norwood Division, a municipal government entity headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure improvements and serves as a sub-recipient for education and public-health programs flowing through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Town operates exclusively in a grant-recipient capacity rather than as a federal contractor, with no contract prime or sub-prime awards in the federal footprint.

The Town's primary federal grant work centers on Norwood Memorial Airport infrastructure funded by the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). Recent prime recipient awards include a $2.19 million FAA grant dated August 18, 2025, for construction of 17,000 linear feet of wildlife perimeter fencing, with completion scheduled for August 17, 2029; a $464,569 FAA grant dated July 30, 2024, for design and permitting work to extend Runway 17/35 an additional 600 feet (Phase 1); and a series of taxiway and runway reconstruction and reconfiguration projects spanning 2022 through 2026, including Phase 2 navigation-aid relocation work under a reimbursable agreement concluding in December 2026. The Town also received American Rescue Plan Act and Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations economic relief funding (awarded December 14, 2021, with completion through December 13, 2025) for airport operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service costs. A second active prime grant funds Phase 4 taxiway shifting and wetland monitoring, awarded August 11, 2026, with completion scheduled for August 10, 2030.

As a sub-recipient, the Town receives education and social-services funding flowing from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Commonwealth's Executive Office of Health and Human Services. Sub-grant activity since 2022 includes repeated allocations for Title I Part A Basic Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Supporting Effective Instruction, English Language Acquisition, Student Support and Academic Enrichment, special education services (IDEA Part B and Part C), school lunch programs, child nutrition programs, fresh fruit and vegetable distribution, the Massachusetts Comprehensive Literacy State Development Program, education for homeless children and youth, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funding. The Town also received sub-grants for local health support of COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing via the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and substance use disorder services through the Commonwealth's Executive Office of Health and Human Services. A single dam-infrastructure sub-grant for Willet Pond Dam high-hazard-potential work was recorded February 25, 2026.

Recent award activity has accelerated — three awards in 2022, five in 2023, thirty-eight in 2024, twenty-two in 2025, and eight through mid-August 2026 — driven primarily by the recurring annual education and nutrition sub-grants channeled through state intermediaries. The top five customer agencies by award count (accounting for 75% of awards) are the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (24 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (24 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration New England Region (17 awards), the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (12 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (9 awards). Combined obligated dollars across all awards reach $37.5 million against a combined potential value of $274 thousand, reflecting the mature, ongoing nature of the grant portfolio. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating a stable recompete cycle. The Town holds a single Basic Ordering Agreement (76563733) under which twelve task orders were placed, though this vehicle does not anchor the bulk of activity. The Town's federal footprint is substantially concentrated in pass-through education and nutrition grants, with secondary exposure to airport capital infrastructure and emergency management funding.
