Ambulance authority thanks council and says new St. Albans station expected to break ground soon
Summary
Monica Mason of the Canal County Emergency Ambulance Authority thanked councilors for supporting the public safety levy and said an updated station design is with an architect and 'breaking ground in the months to come' is expected, pending plan updates.
Monica Mason, representing the Canal County Emergency Ambulance Authority, asked the council to note the authority’s appreciation for a resolution supporting a public-safety levy that will fund law enforcement, fire, EMS and public transportation.
"We appreciate every single one of you," Mason said, thanking the city for adopting a resolution in support of the levy. She and director Sean Hill said the authority expects to break ground on a new ambulance station in St. Albans after architect updates are completed and plans return for review.
Why it matters: the levy and a new station are framed by authority staff as measures to strengthen local emergency response capacity. Mason said the new facility will be sited in St. Albans and that the authority will keep council and the public updated on timing.
Next steps: Mason said updated architectural plans are under review; the authority will return with further details as they become available. The council did not vote on the station at the May 4 meeting but thanked the authority for the update.
