FOXX ANNOUNCES $800K USDA LOAN FOR SURRY COUNTY
Washington, DC,
August 4, 2005
United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5)) announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development has awarded an $800,000 Community Development Loan to Four-Way Volunteer Fire Department to construct a new fire station.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rural Development Loan Awarded to Build New Fire Station at Four-Way VFD “The men and women of Four-Way Volunteer Fire Department do a tremendous job protecting life and property in our community,” said Rep. Foxx. “That is why I worked to support this loan application to build a new fire station.” The funds will be used to construct a new 9500 square foot fire station to replace the old station which has become inadequate and obsolete. The new station will be constructed on the same site and will include 5 drive-thru bays, a meeting-training area, a kitchen and handicap accessible bathrooms. The new station will allow the fire department to improve their efficiency and could lead to improved insurance rating. This would mean an insurance premium reduction for each property owner in the fire district. ### |
