Press Release |
The Sabine River Authority of Texas (SRA) was pleased to recently award Gregg County Emergency Services District #2 a Community Assistance Grant as part of SRA’s Fiscal year 2025 Economic Development Initiative.
The $20,000 check will be used to purchase a UTV for emergency response to off-road locations.
According to David Montagne, SRA’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, “These funds will allow Gregg County ESD #2 to respond to calls easier in remote locations,” he said, “like areas along the Sabine River.
“With increased recreational activity along the waterway, it’s important our first responders have the tools necessary to respond.”
Community Assistance Grants are part of SRA’s community assistance program approved by the SRA Board of Directors to help promote the quality and quantity of services essential for the development of a viable community.
The Sabine River Authority was created by the Texas Legislature in 1949 as an official agency of the State of Texas and covers all or part of 21 counties in East Texas. The Authority serves as a conservation and reclamation district with responsibilities to control, store, preserve and distribute the waters of the Sabine River and its tributary streams for useful purposes.
