Town Of Pomfret

Town Of Pomfret, a U.S. local government entity (township) based in Fredonia, New York, is a federal grant recipient focused on rural water infrastructure and community facility improvements. The town operates as a prime recipient of USDA Rural Utilities Service grants (89% of recent awards) and does not bid on federal contracts or sit on federal contract vehicles.

The town's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in rural infrastructure grants administered by the Department of Agriculture. Since 2013, Pomfret has received nine federal awards totaling $4.3 million obligated, with seven awards from the USDA Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under two primary grant programs: the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) and the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The remaining two awards include one from the USDA Rural Housing Service and one from FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards. All three customer agencies together account for 100% of the town's recent award activity.

Recent grant work centers on domestic water infrastructure and disaster relief. Pomfret received two project grants in April 2026 — a $993,000 award and a $409,000 award — both obligated on April 30, 2026, with completion deadlines of April 30, 2028, supporting water system design, construction, and enhancement for the Fredonia domestic water system under CFDA 10.760. In May 2025, the town received a $440,000 congressionally directed grant under the Community Facilities program (CFDA 10.766) with a May 12, 2027 completion date. A $1.86 million disaster relief water grant awarded in June 2024 (obligated through June 2026) addressed water infrastructure needs following natural disaster impact. An earlier $175,000 community facility grant from February 2024 and an undisclosed-amount grant from July 2023 round out the recent active set. The town's cumulative prior awards since 2021 total approximately $2.76 million, predominantly focused on water system and waste disposal enhancements.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in April 2026 — reflecting grant-cycle timing rather than sustained contracting volume. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating natural recompete or renewal windows. Pomfret competes in the full-and-open rural infrastructure grant space rather than under SBA set-asides; eligibility is driven by rural designation, financial distress criteria, and infrastructure need rather than business-size or ownership status. The town does not maintain federal contract prime awards or IDVs and does not appear in the federal contractor supply chain.
