Re: Invisible Fence Grant
On Tuesday July 12 2016 Center Pointe will be presenting the Hopkins Fire Department with a
$2000.00 grant to purchase four gas monitors.
CenterPoint Energy’s Community Partnership Grant Program awards grant money to fund safety-
related equipment and projects.
At CenterPoint Energy their top priority is to encourage safety awareness and safe practices in our
communities. We are pleased that through our matching grant program, we are able to help cities
leverage local resources to purchase needed safety equipment, training or pro vide financial support
for important safety-related projects. Through these types of grant programs, we are able to stay
connected with our emergency officials and aid them in keeping our neighbors and communities safe.
A representative from Center Pointe will be at the meeting to make the presentation.
