Peachtree City

has received two separate grants from the Georgia Municipal Association

that will allow it to purchase additional safety equipment.

The city was

awarded a safety grant for $2,387 and a separate liability grant for $5,000

from GMA.

The funds will

be used to purchase safety equipment for the fire, parks and recreation

and public works departments. The equipment will include safety vests,

encapsulated suits, turnout gear for firefighters, EMS infection kits,

carbon monoxide alarms and LED warning lights.

Peachtree City's

human resources manager Brenda Rogers worked to obtain the grants on behalf

of the city. Mayor Steve Brown lauded her efforts.

"Not only

will the funds help to keep our employees safe, but going through the

application process also demonstrates Peachtree City's commitment to safety

and can help keep our property, liability and workers compensation insurance

as low as possible during these times of rising costs," Brown said.
