Local Fire Dept and FEMA Grant Workshops

A reminder about workshops concerning grants for local fire departments. Numerous federal grants are available to local fire departments through the FEMA. This month, Rep. Virginia Foxx will host two workshops for fire departments to learn the basics of navigating the federal grant application process. The first workshop is at the Blowing Rock Fire Department Thursday, June 13th at 7pm. The second workshop is at the Piney Grove Fire Department on June 15th at 10am.  “I encourage fire department chiefs and grant writers to attend these workshops to learn which grants they are eligible for and how to write competitive applications,” stated Rep. Foxx.  Workshops are free. To RSVP call Rep. Foxx’s Boone office at 828-265-0240.
