(ABC 6 News) — Emergency aid payments have been made to several Minnesota cities as of late December.

In the ABC 6 News area, over $300,000 were funded to four cities, with the cities of Harmony, Preston, Rushford, and Spring Valley all receiving the funding.

Officials say the funding will help local EMS providers continue saving lives in rural communities.

The money is part of a bipartisan aid package that passed last year. The payments range from $73,000 to about $100,000.
