The town of Alexandria will have to wait a little longer to purchase a much-needed fire truck.
For the second year in a row the state has denied a community development block grant for the town to purchase that truck.
The town had planned to purchase the truck with the hope of improving the city’s ISO rating. Right now the Alexandria Fire Department has two fire trucks that are models from 1981 and 1997.
The state only funded 38-percent of submitted CDBG applications this year.
