The Baldwin Police Department has been awarded a $17,300 grant. During their regular monthly meeting on Jan. 16, the Baldwin City Council will vote to accept the grant.
Baldwin Chief Administrative Officer Emily Woodmaster said the police department applied for a First Responder’s Grant. The money will be used for police equipment and supplies.
During Tuesday’s meeting, the council is also expected to approve an agreement for a fiber internet line to be installed at the fire department. The agreement will be with Trailwave and will cost $3,100 for the installation.
The department is requesting the installation to improve connectivity. Currently, the fire department is using line-of-sight internet, better known as broadband, through the city’s installed service with North Georgia Network (NGN).
Council members will also recognize employees Susan Newsom and Cindy Hernandez. Newsom will be recognized for her length of service to the city and Hernandez will be recognized as the City Hall Employee of the Year.
The Baldwin City Council meets Tuesday, January 16, at 6:30 p.m. in the Baldwin Municipal Courtroom at 155 Willingham Avenue in Baldwin. The public is encouraged to attend.
