Highlights

Community Meeting:

Norristown Community Facilities Project


We held a virtual meeting on May 10, 2023, to collaborate directly with the Norristown community and coordinate the planning, design, and implementation of a project that addresses the community's expressed needs. 

During the virtual meeting, we provided a comprehensive status update on the project and highlighted some of the input and feedback we have received from the Norristown community.

 Grants Programs and Other Collaborative Initiatives


  • Fire Services Recovery Grant Program

The Montgomery County Volunteer and Combination Fire Departments have faced economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a loss of operating revenue and decreased fundraising opportunities. To support their recovery, the Montgomery County Recovery Office has established the Fire Services Recovery Grant Program. This needs-based grant program, funded with $1,500,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act, aims to address the economic impacts by providing financial assistance to eligible Fire Departments. If your Fire Department has been affected by the pandemic, learn more about this program and how to apply to access these vital funds to mitigate the economic impact. Learn more about this program
