PINSON The Pinson City Council voted on Thursday, May 6, to approve a $95,000 grant to the Center Point Fire District for the construction of a new fire training facility. The cities of Center Point and Clay have also given $95,000 grants toward the project, which will benefit not only these three communities but multiple fire districts throughout the state.
“It’s not about (Center Point Fire District); it’s about multiple jurisdictions,” Capt. Chris Horn said. “Even the chief from Glenwood, he reached out to us and also found us a grant that we applied for; we have not received it yet.”
