New York, NY., March 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCQB: SRCO) today announced that for the third time in a two-year period, the town of Candor, NC has chosen Sparta's Municipal Leasing Program to provide financing to add to the town's police cruiser fleet. Candor began leasing equipment through Sparta Commercial in 2014 with a fleet of Dodge Chargers, and later that same year with the lease of a Brush Truck for the Fire Department.
Candor, NC is just one of 14 jurisdictions in the state of North Carolina and over 80 jurisdictions around the country to have participated in the Sparta Municipal Lease Program, and who have taken advantage of the alternative the Program offers to governmental agencies to the method of purchasing their essential equipment outright.
The Sparta Municipal Lease Program supports a wide variety of essential equipment for police, fire, EMS, public transportation, administrative and public works departments, etc., and is especially helpful to those various governmental agencies looking to get more product for their budget.
Commenting on the most recent transaction, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said, "When we see a jurisdiction like Candor use our product across multiple department lines, in this case law enforcement and fire rescue, that tells us that there continues to be a real need; and that once a jurisdiction utilizes our product, they recognize the intrinsic value and so continue to reach out to us for a myriad of needs."
