The Alexandria City Council is being asked to approve an application for fire station construction funding under the Federal stimulus bill. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has $210 million in grants available for fire station construction grants. Alexandria is applying for funding for new Station 210 in the Eisenhower Valley on the current city impound lot and for reconstruction of current Station 203 on its current site with the addition of a third bay for a new medic unit. It is expected to be a very competitive grant program. Maximum grant award is up to $5 million per station. FEMA must award all grants by Sept 30, 2010. Communities have 36 months after award of grant to complete the facility.
