City Commission Meeting · 2026-06-08 · agenda_item

The City of Leesburg is planning to apply for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant through FEMA. This grant is a 90/10 matching grant, meaning the federal government will cover 90% of the costs, and the city will provide the remaining 10%. The purpose of the grant is to purchase new Firefighters Protective Equipment. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the city manager will be authorized to execute the grant agreement. This project would involve the procurement and distribution of specialized safety gear for the fire department. Local suppliers and service providers specializing in safety equipment and government procurement could find opportunities here. Early engagement before the grant is finalized could provide a competitive advantage.
