While hesitant about “painting the town red” when considering how to use federal emergency funds, the Town of Paradise Valley does not shy away from wanting to go green.
Town Council members are figuring out how to use American Rescue Plan Act funds at their disposal, and are interested in more details about an electric firetruck to possibly help reduce undue emissions and health problems firefighters often encounter from traditional firetrucks.
Members heard a presentation on Oct. 14, during a study session meeting, to consider what projects would be eligible to pursue with the funds. Eligible projects must address COVID-19 response, mitigation, and prevention activities, according to a town staff report.
