Mercer County 911 seeks fee increase to fund upgrades
Mercer County Communications Center Director Robert Hoge asked the county commission to raise the 911 landline fee from $1.25 to $3 to cover aging equipment and new systems. He said the current fee has remained at $1.25 since 1992, with the center needing about $375,000 for one telephone system and one CAD system. The proposal would place Mercer County in the bottom third of statewide 911 fees.
