WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded the Ashley Fire Protection District with a $66,000 grant and $34,000 loan. The funds, awarded through USDA’s Rural Development Community Facilities Grant and Direct Loan Program, will be used to purchase a new pumper fire truck.

“This funding will enable the Ashley Fire Protection District to purchase a newer pumper fire truck so that firefighters have the equipment necessary to meet the needs of the communities they serve,” said Hoeven.
