Lowey Announces $99,750 Grant for Mamaroneck EMS

Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY) announced the Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will receive $99,750 in federal funding to purchase a new ambulance.

“First responders serve their communities by responding to emergencies and helping those in need of assistance,” said Congresswoman Lowey. “It is our responsibility to ensure they have the equipment and training they need to do their jobs reliably and efficiently. I am pleased the Department of Homeland Security is addressing this need in Westchester County.”

Lowey is a senior member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

The Mamaroneck EMS will purchase a new ambulance with the funding. The total cost of the vehicle acquisition project is $105,000, so the federal investment will cover more than 95 percent of the cost that otherwise would have been borne by local taxpayers.

“It’s wonderful news that the Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services will receive the $99,750 grant from Congresswoman Lowey’s office,” said Mamaroneck Supervisor Valerie O’Keeffe. “This grant will go a long way to help purchase a much-needed, modern ambulance. Our thanks to Congresswoman Lowey for continuing to work on behalf of all our citizens.”
