U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Kentucky State Director Travis T. Burton and U.S. Congressman James Comer today announced USDA is investing $37,300 to help KenTenn EMS upgrade ambulance equipment.
“First responders in rural Kentucky face quite a few challenges,” said Burton. “That’s why it’s important they have the right equipment. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Rollins, USDA Rural Development continues to invest in first responders across the Commonwealth to help keep our rural communities safe.”
The $37,300 Community Facilities grant will be used to upgrade ambulance equipment and will ultimately benefit over 6,500 people.
During fiscal year 2025, USDA Rural Development invested over $141 million in Community Facilities projects across the commonwealth.
