SCHUYLER LAKE —
Joined by members of the
Schuyler Lake Volunteer
Fire Department, Sen.
James L. Seward (R/C/IOneonta)
recently announced
that the 2009-2010
state budget includes, at
his request, $15,000 to help
with construction of a new
fire station.
``Volunteer departments
like Schuyler Lake work
hard to protect our community
and are in need of the
proper tools to get the job
done,’’ said Senator Seward.
``The senate funding will
help with the construction
of a much needed new fire
station that will enhance
life saving services in rural
Otsego County, and improve
safety for our first
responders.’’
The senate funding will
help fund construction of a
new fire station for the
Schuyler Lake Fire Department.
The building will replace
the current station constructed
in 1949.
``We greatly appreciate
the support from Senator
Seward,’’ said Schuyler
Lake Fire Department
Chief William Peters. ``The
new station will be better
equipped to meet the demands
of modern firefighting,
allowing us to continue
providing vital emergency
services to the community.’’
``First responders need
the right tools for the job to
properly and safely protect
our residents, homes and
businesses. I am glad that
the senate could assist,’’
Seward said.
