My first question is are has anyone tried to get a grant? The young man checked and the answer was no, that there wasn't a grand available for a fire station. I looked on line and found several websites that appear to fund fire station http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=SUNA,SUNA:2006-38,SUNA:en&q=GRANTS FOR FIRE stations [i][/i][i][/i][i][/i][i][/i] I need to know has anyone really checked for funds? My second question was how much have they raised in self supported fundraisers? My third question is why has it taken until now to realize that the station is inadequate? One would imagine that from a business and safety standpoint this should have been addressed by fundraising and applying to all available grant funds. If BLF needs it now, then the process should have been started sometime ago. Don't ask me for money when a real genuine earnest effort on the behalf of the BLF to raise funds hasn't been made. After all we did just agree to paying for a new Library at the SLV High because it was burned down. I also don't see the need for bigger trucks when presently they aren't able to access all the rural areas. - Michelle-Leigh K. Stus Wed, 14 May 2008 23:00:46 +0100
