Driftwood Township (IN) Volunteer Fire Department officials say that the department has outgrown its 68-year-old station, and they want to apply for a $500,000 grant to fund a new facility, reports tribtown.com.
Hence, the department recently mailed to random township residents a letter with an income survey that aims to help determine eligibility for the Community Development Block Grant Public Facilities Program grant, the report says.
Once residents complete the confidential survey—prior to December 10—town officials will review the level of grant assistance requested and weigh the options; adjustments may need to be made and a local match of 10% of total project cost will be required, the report says.
