The City of Columbia is pleased to announce the approval of a $420,000 grant through the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Imminent Threat Program. This critical funding, administered in partnership with the South Central Tennessee Development District (SCTDD), will support the installation of a state-of-the-art siren emergency notification system to enhance public safety throughout the city.
The project will include the installation of twelve strategically placed sirens citywide. The system will feature three electrical sirens equipped with both audible alarms and voice capabilities, as well as nine mechanical sirens designed to deliver audible alarms. Once completed, the system will serve as a vital tool for mass notification.
The City of Columbia extends its gratitude to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development for their continued investment in local communities and to the South Central Tennessee Development District for their ongoing partnership in this endeavor. Updates on the project’s progress will be shared as work advances.
