Congressman David Davis Announces Community Facilities Direct Loan to Sevier & Cocke Counties

January 16, 2007

Washington, DC -- Congressman David Davis announced today a USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Direct Loan of $175,000 for the Pittman Center Community Volunteer Fire Department.

 

Pittman Center Community Volunteer Fire Department will receive Rural Development funds which will be used to purchase a new Fire Pumper Truck. This new truck will replace the Department’s much older pumper truck which has become unreliable and unsafe. The new truck will be the main source of transportation for emergency calls. The Department serves the area east of Gatlinburg in Sevier County and mutual-aid calls in Cocke County. The project is part of the First Responder Initiative.
