The North Judson-Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Department will soon be forming a grant committee.
Fire Chief Joe Leszek told council members last week that the firefighters will be putting together a committee at their next meeting in order to have as many eyes as possible searching for available funding.
He explained, “We want to try and get more people involved to learn the learn the grant process and know what to look for and you know, maybe there’s something that I’ve missed or one of our other guys have missed so we could find some other opportunities.”
Leszek indicated that it has primarily been him and a select few who have been seeking out alternate funding options so it will beneficial to get some additional people actively engaged.
He added that he emphasizes the importance of finding various ways to supplement the Department’s budget as a way to help limit the amount of money the Town has to spend.
