1. Energy Impact Grant: We had requested in this grant for a new truck, station 5 and equipment for a total of $473,000.00. This would have been a 50/50 cost share that would have been a cost to us of $236,000.00 if approved.
What has transpired is this, we have been granted $139,000 for the construction of station 5 on CR 117. There is no cost share on this project as this was what we had requested for the cost of construction in the grant. We are currently looking for other options for the purchase of the new truck.
2. We applied for $2,100.00 on the Ready Reserve grant for wild land training. We have been granted $2,000.00.
