VIDEO: The Citizens Hose Company, emergency services, and the Lycoming County Regional Police are outgrowing their current buildings. First responders say they need more room for equipment and offices. Soon, they will be moving on to a bigger and better space together.
"We started meeting around February of like 2021 as a group, and we've been working pretty diligently trying to get funding; we really don't want to raise taxes if possible, so we're reaching out for different grant opportunities, reaching out for different community organizations to try and help fund this project," said EMS Chief Casey Lowmiller, Citizens Hose Company. So far, officials have secured $7 million for the construction of the Jersey Shore Municipal Building and garage, including one $1 million in federal funding announced Thursday.
