Stimulus money coming to Hayfork

May 20, 2009

HAYFORK - More than $1.3 million in federal economic stimulus funds are set to pay for a new home for the Hayfork Fire Protection District.

The money will cover the cost of a new building that will house the district's trucks, ambulances and other emergency equipment, said Roger Jaegel, the Trinity County supervisor whose district includes Hayfork.

The funds are part of $60 million being spent on 280 rural projects in 39 states, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced earlier this week.
