City Council Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned application for federal funding through the FEMA SAFER Program. The City of Cocoa is seeking approval to apply for this grant. The SAFER Program aims to help communities staff and train their local fire departments. If awarded, this funding could support increased staffing and training for the city's fire and emergency response services. The application process is currently under review by the City Council. This early stage means potential opportunities for contractors and suppliers related to emergency response equipment and training services. Businesses specializing in fire safety equipment, emergency response gear, and professional training services may find future opportunities as the city plans its application and potential grant use.
