BACKGROUND
To assist with funding Prime Mover, that will aid local emergency services with the ability to effectively move trailers and other associated equipment for a wide variety of natural and man-made disasters. This asset will also be available to our region and State of North Carolina for natural and man-made disasters. The truck will be on a crew-cab chassis to move larger crews, have the ability to pull large and heavy loads, and will include a stake-body with lift gate. This additional equipment will better prepare Emergency Management to also support the previous mentioned disasters with enhanced logistically support. This asset is being primarily funded through a DPR7 grant.
