Levy Passes In FC

Voters handily approve a replacement 4-mill EMS levy…meant to equalize funding among Fulton County’s seven emergency stations…and add an eighth, central station to provide mutual aid to the county’s northern communities. Officials say it will generate $4.5 million dollars annually, beginning in January. It replaces the current contract between the county’s EMS entities and its commissioners, which expires at year’s end. The revised plan will annually allot $750,000 each to EMS services in Delta, Archbold, and Swanton. The new eighth EMS station?…it will be built near Fulton County Airport, in Dover Township.
