Limerick, ME — Today, U.S. Senator Susan Collins delivered remarks and participated in a ribbon cutting for the new fire and EMS station in Limerick. Senator Collins secured $1,800,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) through the Fiscal Year 2023 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill to support the construction of a new fire station to serve Limerick and surrounding communities. Senator Collins was joined at the event by Limerick Fire Chief Vincent Pelletier, Maine State Representative David Woodsome, Limerick Town Clerk John Medici, and veteran Fire Captain David McLean.

“Limerick’s new fire station will help ensure our brave first responders are equipped to effectively serve their communities,” said Senator Collins.  “I was delighted to secure $1.8 million in federal funding through Appropriations process to help build this new facility.”

Senator Collins has been a longstanding advocate for Maines’ firefighters and first responders. This year alone, she secured nearly $31 million through the Fiscal Year 2024 Appropriations process for 24 projects across the state that will support local law enforcement, fire and rescue stations, and emergency response services.
