Transit Safety and Security Training Facility

This project supports the efforts of the Chester County Economic Development Council to develop a county-wide training program for First Responders to effectively respond to human and natural disasters. Currently no public security and safety facility exists in the county to provide training for first responders, nor enables them to train together as a response team at one centralized, dedicated facility. Funds will be used to design, construct, and outfit a facility that will serve the training and workforce development needs of Chester County's first emergency responders, including the 5,000 or more fire, police and emergency medical service personnel.
