S 3435 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the fire station construction grant program and the fire station construction fund; and makes an appropriation therefor

This bill establishes a state grant program to help fire departments fund construction or renovation of fire stations, covering up to 75% of eligible project costs. Fire departments must apply competitively, demonstrating specific need, securing matching funds, and showing how the project improves operational efficiency. It creates a dedicated $10 million "fire station construction fund" from the state general fund, kept separate from other accounts, to administer the grants. The program applies to buildings or infrastructure upgrades (like electrical systems) but excludes planning studies or feasibility work.
