Cleveland says GLO grant will fund lift‑station upgrades and a larger generator for fire department
Summary
Speakers in a Cleveland meeting said grant funds from the General Land Office will let the city upgrade public‑works lift stations and provide a more capable generator for the fire department; the grant amount and implementation timeline were not specified.
Speaker 1, a staff member, said Cleveland received grant funds from the GLO and that the money will be used for upgrades to public‑works lift stations and to provide “much needed, relief, for our fire department to get them a generator.”
The grant will also support work on the public‑works department’s lift stations, Speaker 1 said: “It'll give us the opportunity to do some upgrades in our public works department's, lift stations, stations, and it also provides some much needed, relief, for our fire department to get them a generator.”
Speaker 2, a staff member, described the current generator’s limits: “The generator that's there does not run the entire building, to full capacity the way that we need to. So it makes it very difficult for us to have personnel there to actually operate the building as we would on a on a daily basis.”
Speaker 3, a staff member, said the upgrades will keep sewer lift stations operating during power outages: “When power goes out, there will be constant power to these lift stations that keep them flowing no matter what the situation is. It'd be a great addition to what we need for the city in the longevity of the community.”
The speakers thanked the GLO for providing the grant funds. The transcript did not specify the grant amount, the formal awarding body action, a vote, or a timeline for installation or procurement.
