| WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor and Representative Marion Berry (AR-01) announced today that the city of Mammoth Springwill receive a $75,000 Rural Development grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The funds will be used to purchase a new fire truck.
“As first responders, local firefighters play an integral role in keeping our communities safe,” Lincoln said. “These federal dollars will allow the city of Mammoth Spring to continue to provide the best possible service.”
“Every second counts in the event of fire,” said Pryor. “This new truck will ensure Mammoth Spring firefighters can quickly respond in order to prevent the loss of lives and property.”
“This fire truck for the city of Mammoth Spring is long overdue,” said Berry. “Our first responders need the most up-to-date equipment to best serve their communities and this new fire truck will greatly improve their ability to keep the families in Mammoth Spring safe.”
USDA Rural Development grants support public facilities and services, promote economic development, and offer technical assistance to help address the diverse and unique needs of rural communities.
