Sparta to Participate in Safety Equipment Grant

The Sparta City Council will participate in a grant program to provide additional funding for safety equipment.

The “Safety Partners” grant would give the city $15,000 through Public Entity Partners.

Sparta can split the funding across several departments to buy safety belts, boots, and other needed resources.

The grant program runs on a 50-percent match from the city.

The City Council approved the grant opportunity during the Wednesday meeting.
