Police, fire departments accept foundation grants totaling about $109,600
Summary
Selectmen accepted two foundation grants: $41,600 for the police department for building/security improvements and support for a comfort dog, and $68,009.74 for the fire department to buy a utility pickup and training props.
The Greenland Board of Selectmen on June 30 voted to accept foundation grants awarded to the town’s police and fire departments. The grants were awarded by a private foundation and will fund equipment and building needs for the departments.
The grants matter because they provide capital support outside the town budget: the police department received $41,600 to cover building renovation items, security and egress improvements and equipment for Willow, the department’s comfort dog; the fire department received $68,009.74 for a new utility pickup truck and training props. The selectmen thanked the foundation for the awards and approved accepting and extending the grants.
A selectman moved to accept the grants as presented and the motion passed on a voice vote. Staff said they will track grant expenditures and bring project updates as work proceeds.
