A $114,837 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is to be used by the city of Apache Junction for barriers to stop vehicles from being driven into city buildings.
The Apache Junction City Council on Nov. 3 voted unanimously to approve a consent agenda with several items including an agreement for federal fiscal year 2025 grant funding for city complex site/target hardening.
The police department received homeland-security grants before and used them for equipment, Apache Junction Police Department Cmdr. Michael Beaton said during an Oct. 5 council work session.
