Kaine announces public safety funds

Gov. Tim Kaine announced Wednesday that Virginia is allocating $2 million in federal funds to 28 communications initiatives, including several in Western Virginia.

The money will go toward "interoperability" projects, meaning those designed to improve radio communications between public safety personnel.

Roanoke will receive $73,584 in funding, Covington $66,500, Giles County $75,000, Pulaski County $18,000, and the town of Pulaski will get $75,000.
I have not heard if the money awarded to Roanoke is for the City or the County or both. If anyone knows let me know.
