Establishes the fire station construction grant program and the fire station construction fund; and makes an appropriation therefor
This bill creates a state grant program to help fire departments fund construction or major renovations of fire stations. It establishes a dedicated $10 million "fire station construction fund" to cover up to 75% of eligible project costs for qualified fire departments (including volunteer and paid departments). To qualify, applicants must demonstrate specific need, show they have other funding secured, and prove the project will improve operational efficiency. The program requires competitive applications with strict criteria, prioritizing aging stations and communities with limited resources, while excluding planning or feasibility studies.
