EAST MARLBOROUGHâState Rep. Christina Sappey,D-158th, of West Bradford, announced $1.5 million in state grants from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program that will support the Fame Fire Company of West Chester and Longwood Gardens.
âLongwood Gardens is a Chester County institution, and I am honored to support them in securing this funding for facility upgrades,â Sappey said. âPublic gardens, such as Longwood, provide tremendous peace and joy to the public while serving as an economic driver for our region. These grant funds will help Longwood remain a leader in horticulture education, research and displays. Fame Fire Company has continued to innovate and grow along with the West Chester community. They serve on the Chester County Rescue Task Force as the lead company for swift water, trench, and structural collapse technical rescues. These facility upgrades will allow them to further increase efficiency and lower response times.â
