Press Releases

Marquette- Congressman Bergman released the following information:

Today, USDA Rural Development announced the approval of four new grants to assist in vehicle purchases for First District emergency services in Manistique, Alger, Schoolcraft, and Charlevoix counties. 

"Many of our rural Fire, EMS, and Police Departments in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula operate on limited resources, and often with outdated equipment. I applaud USDA and the Trump Administration for realizing the importance of our rural communities, and prioritizing these investments in the First District," said Bergman
