STATE COLLEGE, Aug. 13 – New grant funding of $220,000 will support firefighting resources for Hope Fire Co. and community center upgrades for Huston Township, state Rep. Scott Conklin, D-Centre, announced today.
Conklin said the funding includes $200,000 to Hope Fire Co. in Philipsburg to help the company purchase a utility vehicle, personal protective gear and other firefighting equipment.
“Our district is fortunate to have highly dedicated first responders who answer the call 24/7, regardless of tight budgets, staff constraints and other logistical challenges,” Conklin said. “Securing this funding should help ease some of the burden for Hope Fire Company so the department can ensure that their frontline heroes have the resources they need to stay safe on the job.”
Conklin said that in addition, Huston Township will receive $20,000 for building upgrades, including ADA compliance work, for the township’s community center.
