| Yesterday the WVFC was notified we were awarded two grants totaling almost $335,000 through the Local Share Account Statewide (LSA) Grant Program.
Each year, the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), which holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments on behalf of the Commonwealth, distributes the state's share of gaming revenue to local governments and programs.
The funds from the first grant will be used to replace and upgrade our portable radios and adding headset intercom systems to our apparatus.
Our existing portable radios have reached the end of their serviceable life where repairs to radios may no longer be feasible and are no longer covered under warranty.
The second grant will be used to make upgrades to our 2007 Mack/Pierce tanker including lighting upgrades, a hosebed cover, and hydraulic ladder rack system with ground ladders.
We would like to thank Senator Chris Gebhard and State Representative Eric Weaknecht for their support as well as our municipal officials from Womelsdorf Borough and Heidelberg Township who supported our applications. |
