@quinnipiacpost: Southington, CT has been awarded $3.03 million in federal SAFER money to hire 12 more firefighters, which fire officials call the largest such award in New England so far. The Town Council still has to decide whether to accept it, and as Patch noted, the town would have to keep paying for the jobs once the grant runs out.

Not complaining at all especially because I’m a local, but why did we get that much compared to others?

You forgot to add the grant only covers 70% of the cost the first year and goes down from there. So they could not afford to hire 3 on there own but now they found enough to cover 12

that's after the award period depending on how many they hire it's a upfront loan paid back by tax payers and Municipality for initial grant

Somehow this will likely be squandered by shady backroom business deals for the old boys club, as is Southington. Sorry if I’m a pessimist, look at the town.
