Lake of Egypt Fire District faces discouraging funding outlook
Officials of the Lake of Egypt Fire District report disappointment after a full federal low interest loan request for 377000 dollars to buy trucks gear and buildings was denied. The Farmers Home Administration offered about 150000 dollars if the district pursues private funding and local bonds. Fire Chief Joe Seper warns private financing may be costly or unavailable and the district will seek loans from local banks while informing FmHA of plans before April 15.
