The Board of Commissioners is opening the floor for public comment on an application seeking federal funds to upgrade Fire Rescue equipment. Specifically, they're eyeing Congressionally Directed Spending, with the United States Department of Agriculture as the target agency, to acquire new Breathing Equipment for first responders.
The proposal, detailed in an announcement spotted on Paulding County's official website, outlines the intended purchase of MSA Cylinders and Carry Packs, which are critical to the safety of both the general public and the fire rescue personnel themselves. The public hearing is scheduled for August 13, at 10 a.m., giving the community an opportunity to voice their opinions and raise any concerns they might have about this proposed purchase.
Located in the heart of the Watson Government Complex, the Commissioners' meeting room on the second floor of the Administration Building will serve as the venue. This meeting is a genuine call for input from every stakeholder in the community, whether a private sector leader or a resident invested in the county's safety infrastructure.
According to the county's announcement, the Paulding County Board of Commissioners is actively seeking "comments and concerns from the general population concerning the purchase of the Breathing Equipment.”
