SENATOR DOLE ANNOUNCES $10,956,600 LOAN TO CHOWAN COUNTY
|
|
April 12th, 2005 - Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole today announced that USDA Rural Development will loan $10,956,600 to the Chowan County Emergency Management Center.
“I am so pleased that Chowan County Emergency Management Center was able to secure this significant funding,” said Senator Dole. “Our first responders are there in times of need and are literally on the front lines defending our homeland. It is so important that they have adequate facilities, training and equipment so that they can safely do their jobs and protect the communities they serve.”
The first loan of $7,580,200 will be used to construct a new Emergency Operations Center. The center will be used for the 911-communications center, Sheriff’s Department and the town of Edenton Police Department. The former facility flooded during Hurricane Isabel. The second loan, $3,376,400 will be used to install telephone lines, internet connections, 911 consoles and radio equipment, and the installation of an Urban Area Security System. Once completed, the new center and its updated equipment will much better serve the emergency needs of Chowan County’s 14,526 residents.
