Franklin County Public Safety Training Center Dedicated

On October 11, 2003 the new burn building at the Franklin County Public Safety Training Center was dedicated. It had been six years since ground was broken on the five-acre site donated by the Franklin County Career and Technology Center, Loop Road. The center cost $1.2 million, $600,000 coming from a state grant, $100,000 seed money coming from the estate of the late Tony Gargaro and $250,000 when county commissioners challenged each of the 15 townships and seven boroughs to contribute $1 per resident towards the center and the county would match that total.
