Senator Stabenow Announces Support for Central Lake Police Department to Buy New Patrol Vehicle

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, today announced support for the Central Lake Police Department in Antrim County. The funding comes through the USDA's Rural Development Economic Impact Initiative Grant program, which funds critical infrastructure within rural communities across the country. The $14,250 grant will be used to help the community purchase a new patrol vehicle to replace two old vehicles.

"Police officers have to cover many miles to protect our families, homes and communities," said Stabenow. "This new police car for Central Lake will help make sure there is always someone there to quickly respond in an emergency."

Senator Stabenow is Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, which oversees the USDA and its Rural Development program.
