Hall said questionnaires have been distributed throughout the Mountainlands region to find out what the pressing fire protection needs will be in each city and county during the next 10 years, partly to determine the best use for the Garn money and also to decide what projects should get federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money. He said MAG's initial payment from the Garn fund would only be $47,000 and he didn't know how much more would become available.
