SUMTER COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – The ability to function in an emergency situation is critical.
The City of Bushnell made a request for a generator, and Sumter County answered the call.
Sumter County has strengthened its ties with local municipalities, securing essential goods and services, making sure its residents are receiving the best and most necessary support – especially in a time of crisis. And since the enactment of the American Rescue Plan Act, the county has made certain those needs go fulfilled. So, when the City of Bushnell made a request for a generator, Sumter County Centralized Purchasing delivered by procuring a Wacker Neuson G100 generator.
On September 4, 2024, the City of Bushnell received a response to their request. The Sumter County public works team, headed by assistant public works director Michael Bryant, worked with Sumter County Centralized Purchasing to deliver the generator that Parker Koch from the City of Bushnell’s water department had requested.
This action serves as a prime example of how Sumter County continues to serve its municipalities and its residents by providing those critical resources necessary for a community’s well-being, particularly during a time of crisis. The generator takes on added significance as it was supplied during the height of the hurricane season.
