City offi­cials signed paper­work today donat­ing two city bus­es to the Grant Coun­ty Sheriff’s Dept. 

The Trans­porta­tion Depart­ment had planned to rotate out extra bus­es in their fleet after pur­chas­ing four new bus­es last year. 

Grant Coun­ty Sheriff’s Capt. Scott Haley said the bus­es will be very use­ful, being able to serve mul­ti­ple pur­pos­es for evac­u­a­tions, trans­port­ing inmates, train­ings, and more. 

The oth­er two extra bus­es will stay with the City with one being donat­ed to the Mar­i­on Police Depart­ment and one to the Mar­i­on Fire Department.

Trans­porta­tion Direc­tor Jeff Edwards said it feels good to be able to help both the two City depart­ments and the Coun­ty in this way.
