Town Of Superior

Town of Superior, Arizona, a municipal government entity, acts as a federal grant recipient focusing on rural infrastructure development, water systems, and watershed management. The town has secured eight federal grant awards as a prime recipient and participates in two sub-awards; it holds no federal contracts and does not operate on IDVs or BPAs.

Town of Superior's grant portfolio concentrates heavily with the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, which has funded five awards totaling infrastructure and utility improvements for this south-central Arizona rural community. The top four customer agencies account for 90% of recent awards: USDA Rural Utilities Service (5 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (2 awards), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region (1 award), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (1 award). Combined federal obligations across all ten awards total $5.3 million.

Recent representative grant work includes a $718,000 project grant from USDA Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) awarded May 5, 2026, with completion scheduled for May 5, 2028, designated to support construction or improvement of essential community facilities serving rural residents. A $500,000 project grant from USDA Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Facility Loans and Grants to Alleviate Health Risks for Colonias and Tribal Lands program (CFDA 10.770) awarded June 20, 2025, funds water and waste disposal infrastructure to address public health risks in the rural colonia. A $245,308 project grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Cooperative Watershed Management Program (CFDA 15.554) awarded September 12, 2024, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2027, supports stakeholder engagement and development of the Upper Queen Creek Watershed Group to address water quality and quantity issues impacted by mineral extraction. Town of Superior also received a $2 million project grant from USDA Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) awarded August 30, 2022, through August 30, 2024. Sub-award participation includes a Healthy Forest Initiative Grant Program sub-award from the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (October 17, 2024) and a homeland security grant program sub-award (October 9, 2024).

Activity across the five-year window shows sparse and irregular volume — one award in 2019 and 2022, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete.
