SUMMIT TWP — Herman Volunteer Fire Company is set to receive nearly $30,000 by the end of the month for this year’s allocation of funds from the state.

Supervisors voted 2-0 at a meeting Wednesday, Sept. 17, to give the annual allocation of state funds, $29,420.04, to the Herman Volunteer Fire Company Relief Association.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General, the association received slightly less last year, $27,591.75.

The next Summit Township supervisors meeting is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Oct. 1.
