The Office of Emergency Communications has announced that 18 entities will be receiving money as a part of their NextGen9-1-1 grant, and Manitowoc County was included on the list.
The County will be receiving a total of just shy of $175,000, or over a third of the nearly $488,000 the OEC is giving out
In August 2019, Wisconsin was awarded $2.9 million in federal grant funding by the U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Commerce for the purpose of advancing NextGen9-1-1 in the state.
Primary public safety answering points (PSAPs) were eligible to apply for allowable expenses related to end-of-life Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) hardware and software replacement.
The OEC announced the award of $2.1 million in federal NextGen9-1-1 funding to 24 local grant projects in June 2020.
