ENP STAFF REPORTS
news@eastniagarapost.com
The City of Lockport has been awarded a SAFER grant in the amount of $212,298, allowing the Lockport Fire Department to call Chris Lane back to service with the city's fire department.
The grant, funded through the Dept. of Homeland Security, will pay Lane's salary, benefits and pension costs for two full years. Lane was originally hired by the department in 2006.
Lockport Mayor Anne McCaffrey said, "This is great news for the City and the Department as it brings an employee back to work, ensures his retention, and maintains the staffing that the Council established last fall during budget time - all at no cost to the city. We could not ask for a better outcome."
McCaffrey thanked Fire Chief Pat Brady for applying for — and being awarded — the grant, as well as Congressman Chris Collins and Senator Chuck Schumer for their help in obtaining the federal funding.
