Citing the many local emergency responders following the oil spill in
Maylower in March, ExxonMobil has donated $100,000 to the county.
Representatives from the company said they hoped the donation would
be used toward emergency response equipment, infrastructure maintenance
and emergency response training.
Faulkner County Judge Allen Dodson said the contribution is part of a
$300,000 total commitment that includes the City of Mayflower and the
Mayflower Volunteer Fire Department.
“While such a donation can’t erase the unfortunate occurrence of the
pipeline rupture, the monies can be used to further our preparedness for
future disasters and I look forward to optimizing our County’s use of
these funds,” Dodson said. “Greater preparedness saves lives,
potentially the lives of our children, friends and family, and those of
our citizens.” MORE
