Washington, D.C. - Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), delivered $4.5 million in funding through the Fiscal Year 2026 Agriculture appropriations bill to replace the Trappe Volunteer Fire Company's aging firehouse.
The funding will replace the aging 1951 firehouse with a new single-story, pre-engineered facility that improves firefighter safety, strengthens emergency response capabilities, and better protects the Trappe community.
Statement from Congressman Harris:
"Trappe's volunteer firefighters put themselves on the line every day for their community. A new firehouse will give these firefighters the space and equipment they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. I'm proud to deliver this funding for the residents of Talbot County and the volunteer firefighters who provide this essential service."
