Riley County commissioners unanimously approved to add an ambulance to the northern part of the county. The commission gave EMS administration the go ahead to start the process for building a new ambulance station.  This includes finding an architect, position requests, and determine where to put the station. “To me, it’s obvious that we need to put a station up there, we have ARPA money.  It will basically just need a small house and an oversized garage.  We have a chance to do that now,” says Commission Chair Greg McKinley. … “I’m always fiscally conservative, but I think this something beyond that.  More of a basic health issue that people expect to have services for their health, or services the city and rest of the county have,” says Focke.
