RIBBON CUTTING — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine helped cut the ceremonial ribbon for the new public safety building in Greenville on June 15 with town officials.
“Ensuring that Maine’s finest and bravest have modern facilities and equipment is essential to the delivery of efficient emergency services,” said Collins in her remarks. “I heard from local officials and residents about how this funding would strengthen Greenville and surrounding communities by ensuring that the Town can help enhance public safety. That is why I worked hard to secure federal funding to advance this important project.”
As vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Collins secured $902,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending for this project through Fiscal Year 2023 Appropriations legislation. Since the reinstitution of CDS in 2021, Collins has secured nearly $21 million for Greenville-based projects that will improve public safety, health care, child care, transportation, and emergency preparedness.
