Hartsville awarded $17,500 Duke Energy HERO preparedness grant
Summary
City staff said Hartsville will receive a $17,500 Duke Energy HERO (Helping Emergency Response Organizations) preparedness grant to support local emergency responders; the award was presented during the council work session and a photo with chiefs was planned.
Hartsville city officials announced the city will receive a $17,500 HERO (Helping Emergency Response Organizations) preparedness grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, the City Manager told the council.
The manager said the grant is designed to help “boots on the ground” emergency response operations and noted the previous hurricane season had been busy; staff invited a Duke representative for a short presentation and planned a photo with fire chiefs and other personnel. “The city of Hartsville is going to be a proud recipient of a $17,500 HERO grant,” the manager said during the meeting.
Council members thanked the Duke Energy Foundation and indicated the funds will improve readiness for storm season. No formal council action was taken at the session; staff scheduled a photo opportunity with chiefs and other participants.
The announcement was part of the manager’s regular update; staff did not provide a line-item plan for how the grant will be spent during the meeting.
