In partnership with Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative (ACEC), based in Postville, Iowa, a $100,000 Revolving Loan Fund loan was closed with the Waucoma Fire Association in Waucoma, Iowa. These funds will support the completion of a new, expanded fire department facility with dedicated space for training and equipment while adding a second helipad to improve emergency response and enhance public safety throughout the service area. The Waucoma Fire Department serves more than 45 square miles, including a large portion of ACEC's service territory, providing critical protection and peace of mind to cooperative members across the service territory.
