Hartford City's Two Trucks Carry $1,200 Local Match
From the Hartford City Common Council meeting on November 2, 2026
Hartford City received $173,000 through a Department of Energy grant for two new trucks with a $1,200 local match, Mayor Dan Eckstein reported at the Nov. 2 council meeting.
The city had announced the arrival of two electric pickup trucks in October. Eckstein's update supplied the grant amount and the city's local contribution for the acquisition.
One truck is for the street department. Both replace older city vehicles. Eckstein thanked Cheri Brown for work on the grant.
The trucks were presented as an equipment update, not a new purchase request for the council to approve that evening.
