ST. Johnsbury Town Manager

ST. Johnsbury Town Manager, a U.S. local government entity and municipality headquartered in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, receives federal grants as a prime recipient for community development, public safety, environmental remediation, and infrastructure projects, and participates in sub-recipient roles on state-administered federal grants routed through Vermont agencies.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on grant funding rather than federal contracts. As a prime recipient, ST. Johnsbury Town Manager has received project grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for fire and emergency services staffing — most recently a $569,508 award on March 19, 2026, under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program (CFDA 97.083) to support firefighter hiring and volunteer recruitment through March 18, 2029 — and from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 for brownfield remediation and planning under a cooperative agreement awarded July 1, 2024, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2029. The vendor also received a $543,000 project grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service on January 19, 2024, under Community Facilities Loans and Grants (CFDA 10.766) for community infrastructure improvements, and a $200,000 Rural Business Development Grant (CFDA 10.351) from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services on July 1, 2024, supporting business counseling, feasibility studies, and economic development initiatives through July 1, 2026.

Top funding agencies across 50 total awards (28 prime, 22 sub-recipient) include the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (12 awards), Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 (9 awards), and FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards (8 awards), accounting for 66% of award volume. The vendor acts as sub-recipient on grants administered by Vermont state agencies — including the Vermont Agency of Transportation, Vermont Department of Public Safety, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, and Vermont Public Service Department — on projects spanning water infrastructure improvements, stormwater management, transportation repairs, public safety equipment, and the Armory Redevelopment Project. Recent sub-recipient work includes water main and treatment plant improvements, emergency relief funding for disaster recovery, and electric vehicle procurement funding. Activity has accelerated: one award in 2022, one in 2023, nine in 2024, and fourteen in 2025. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $37.7 million against a $16,000 combined potential value figure, reflecting the municipal entity's role as a pass-through recipient managing local implementation of federal grant programs rather than a vendor competing for federal contracts.
