For the fourth year in a row, the city of Pittsfield has won the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the compilation of its fiscal year 2021 budget.
The award announcement would usually be a part of the annual RSVP award recognition luncheon, but the event was not held due to COVID safety restrictions.
The Vermont Arson Tip Award Program offers an award of up to $5000 for any information that will lead to the arrest of anyone involved in the crime of arson. You may provide this information by calling The Vermont Arson Tip Award Program hotline at 1-800-322-7766, by contacting Det. Sgt. Steven Otis of the Vermont State Police at the Westminster Barracks at 802-722-4600, or by email at steven.otis@vermont.gov.
The Pittsfield Fire Department will receive $140,874 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) as part of a Regional Award.
