Washington,
Aug 8, 2008 -
U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, along with U.S. Representative John Boozman (AR-03) today announced nearly $80,000 in funds to improve safety and security services in Flippin.
“We all want Arkansas’s communities to be as safe as possible,” said Lincoln. “These funds provide important resources to help local law enforcement officials protect families in Flippin, and I will continue to fight for these critical priorities.”
“On a daily basis, Flippin families depend on critical services only first responders can provide,” said Pryor. “These grants are an excellent example of how federal funds can be reinvested into our local communities and give all residents greater peace of mind.”
"It is essential that the city of Flippin has the necessary resources and equipment to protect its residents," Boozman said. "It's great that city officials are looking for ways to continuously improve the safety and security of its citizens."
Rural Development secured $46,000 in funds to repair Flippin's fire and police stations and $33,000 to buy two new law enforcement vehicles through Economic Impact Initiative Grants.
