Jones County to host ribbon cutting on new EMS building
JONES COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — Trenton in Jones County will be getting a new emergency medical services building this week.
The USDA Rural Development State Director, Robert Hosford, will be at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Jones County's new emergency medical services on Thursday, May 29, to help celebrate the milestone. Rural Development helped construct the 3,480 square foot building by investing $1 million through a USDA Emergency Rural Healthcare Grant.
The grant helped construct the new building as well as renovate the county's emergency operations center. The new EMS building will include two ambulance bays, bedrooms, offices, bathrooms, decontamination rooms, storage areas, kitchen and day room.
The USDA Emergency Rural Healthcare Grant exists to help rural communities access health care in a long-term, sustainable way.
