Umatilla County Fire District #1 was awarded $2,736,591 from the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program to rehabilitate Fire Stations 22 and 24.
Fire district officials say the grant will ensure that the community has fire stations they
can depend on in the face of a seismic disaster.
The Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program is a competitive grant program from the state of Oregon that provides funding for the seismic rehabilitation of critical public buildings, particularly public schools and emergency services facilities. It is one of the infrastructure programs Business Oregon administers to create livable and prosperous communities, in addition to the agency’s business development work.
