According to a report from Gulf Coast News Today, city officials in Spanish Fort, Alabama, have indicated that federal stimulus funding could help pay for their planned new fire station.
Mayor Mike McMillan told City Council members that the city’s share of the government’s recent $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act should total about $1.7 million, and any funding plans would be approved by the City Council after discussions with Spanish Fort officials.
City Clerk Rebecca Gaines said Spanish Fort has received about $353,000 in reimbursements under the CARES Act for expenses incurred during the coronavirus pandemic. She also stated that some payments are still outstanding such as reimbursements for firefighters’ turnout gear.
