Lamont McClure and the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) have begun dispersing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) grants following County Council\u2019s approval at their April 1st<\/sup> meeting. The grants were recommended by a review committee comprised of DCED staff and will fund fourteen projects for a total of $104,661.00. EMS grants are available to Northampton County volunteer fire departments and non-profit emergency medical service organizations and can be used for capital improvements, vehicle purchase, equipment purchase and training. The maximum amount of an EMS grant is $10,000 per project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for Northampton County to be as supportive as possible of what our fire departments and emergency medical service organizations are doing,\u201d says Lamont McClure. \u201cThey are critical to ensuring the public health of our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

EMS grants were established by County Council in March 2020 and are funded using Northampton County\u2019s Local Share Table Games Revenue.<\/p>\n
