Elyria Township fire department awarded grant
If you drive by the Elyria Township property on the east side of Murray Ridge Road, south of the turnpike, you may notice a large concrete slab. Poured on October 22nd, it is waiting for the delivery of fire training trailers on the week of November 20th.
The project began in 2010 when Assistant Elyria Township Fire Chief Tim Midkiff and firefighter Lt. Justin Knapp wrote a proposal for the training trailers to the federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program. Getting these grants is a very competitive process. Their fire training trailers proposal awarded the township over $195,000. The township’s financial obligation would only be 5% of the entire total.
