Sourcewell’s Community Impact Funding empowers the City of Jenkins to invest in critical safety and energy-efficiency improvements identified in key areas of the City’s public spaces, facilities, and equipment. The funding dollars are specifically being utilized for safety boundary fencing along Highway 371 and County Road 15 at Jenkins Veteran’s Park, a new zero-turn mower, brush cat-tool cat attachment, energy-reduction and safety upgrades for our Public Works maintenance shop, including attic insulation and insulated overhead and secondary access door.
This funding provides the dedicated Public Works personnel of Jenkins with a safe, functional facility and the proper, reliable equipment they need to respond effectively to maintenance and emergencies, enhancing public safety and accessibility. By drastically lowering energy use, reducing costly equipment rentals/repairs, and investing in safety of our public spaces and personnel, this funding will not only have a significant impact on the City’s long-term general operating expenses, but will also have a major impact on the safety and enjoyment of all who live, work, play, or pass through the “Gateway to the Whitefish Chain.”
