ARMADA, MI – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) announced $2.25 million in federal Community Project Funding she secured for upgrades to the Armada Township Fire Department.
“Armada's firefighters and paramedics show up for their community day and night. Our first responders deserve a station equipped to meet the demands of the job,” Chairwoman McClain said. “I'm proud to bring $2.25 million back to our community to support the men and women who keep our families safe. This investment will strengthen emergency response and make a lasting difference for families across Armada Township and surrounding communities. The Armada Township and USDA Rural Development helped make these upgrades possible.”
The funding will support the rehabilitation and expansion of the fire station as the department transitions from a volunteer-based operation to providing full-time fire and paramedic services around the clock. The upgrades will help ensure Armada's firefighters and paramedics have a facility equipped to serve the community.
The funding follows two years of work between Chairwoman McClain’s office and Armada Township to advance the project. USDA Rural Development will oversee the funding, with the Township providing the required local match.
