KINGSFORD, MI-- Kingsford Police are benefiting from a U.S. Department of Agriculture program.

The Department of Public Safety is getting a $16,000 grant through the USDA’s Rural Development Community Facility Grant Program, which funds critical infrastructure within rural communities across the country.

The money will be used to help buy a new police vehicle for the department.
