T he Blount County Commission Monday divided a $4000 grant among four municipalities that will use their $1000 toward improving future disaster readiness.
The grant comes from CAWACO Research Development and Conservation, a government-affiliated agency that supports educational and community development in five central Alabama counties, including Blount.
Blountsville and Cleveland will use the money toward building community safe rooms. Locust Fork will use the money to purchase generators for its town hall and help in contructing a community safe room, and Snead will relocate an outdoor warning siren and install an additional outdoor warning siren. Receipt of the funds is contingent on the towns’ receiving other grants pending for the projects and expending CAWACO funds on the projects as designated.
