Cramerton board approves $63,664 pickup for fire department using state grant funds
Summary
The board approved purchasing a 2025 Ford F-350 Crew Cab for $63,664 as part of a $1.5 million state grant to purchase and outfit a new fire truck and related equipment for the Cramerton Fire Department.
The Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 18 to approve the purchase of a 2025 Ford F-350 Crew Cab 4x4 (short bed) for the fire department at a price of $63,664. Town Manager Zach Ollis told the board the purchase would be funded through a $1.5 million state grant the town received to acquire a new fire truck and related equipment.
Manager Ollis said the grant includes funds to outfit the new apparatus and to purchase other items the department needs; the $63,664 pickup was identified as part of those grant-eligible expenditures. Mayor Pro Tempore Richard Atkinson moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Jennifer Ramsey seconded the motion. The board’s voice vote was unanimous.
The meeting packet and discussion indicate the purchase is part of the broader grant-funded equipment plan; the board did not record additional conditions or alternative vendors on the public record at the workshop. Further procurement steps and delivery timelines were not specified during the meeting.
