The City of Rushville and the Rushville Fire Department have been working jointly since early September on a grant solicitation through OCRA (Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs) that would provide funding strictly limited in scope to upgrading the current Rushville Fire Department by building an addition on the east side of the present facility. This addition would house new living quarters for the current staff and provide greater separation from possible contaminants carried into the truck bay area from emergency scenes. Public input specifically related to the scope of this request is needed to complete the grant writing process. If this funding was secured, the RFD is interested in knowing if residents would support this project to add-on to the Rushville Fire Department.
