State Representative Amy Grant is urging fire departments in Illinois to apply for a new grant aimed at enhancing public safety and community infrastructure. The state has allocated $5 million for the rehabilitation or construction of fire stations, with applications due by February 28, 2025.
"Supporting our local fire departments with quality infrastructure is essential to keep the public safe and our residents' minds at ease," stated Rep. Grant. She emphasized that all fire departments in DuPage County should consider applying, particularly those needing updated facilities.
This funding initiative is part of a broader state effort to bolster emergency services and ensure that fire departments have the necessary resources to protect residents effectively. Fire departments are advised to act promptly to take advantage of this opportunity.
