Officials in Meadville (PA) have agreed to purchase a new $874,841.78 aerial for the fire department, according to a story published by The Meadville Tribune.
The new aerial will replace a 28-year-old ladder truck, the newspaper reported, noting the new truck will be made by the Sutphen Corporation of Dublin, OH.
Meadville is planning to pay for the truck with money through planned capital improvement borrowing, the paper said.
Once the financing is in place, it’s expected to take between 12 and 14 months for the new SLR 75 aerial to be built, the newspaper reported.
