Senator Stabenow Announces Support for Lake Odessa Police Department to Buy New Police Car

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, today announced support for the Lake Odessa Police Department in Ionia County. This funding comes through the USDA's Rural Development Community Facility Grant program, which funds critical infrastructure in rural communities across the country. The $6,000 grant will be used to help the community purchase a new police vehicle.

"Police officers have to cover many miles to protect our families, homes, and communities," said Stabenow. "This new police car for Lake Odessa will help make sure there is always someone there to quickly respond in an emergency."

Senator Stabenow is Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, which oversees the USDA and its Rural Development program.
