County considers new ambulance facility amid space needs and zoning move
The board seeks rezoning of a vacant north lot to align with the ambulance site and plans an architect search for a two parcel facility. A $3 million FY2016 budget line backs a new building, with last year’s $400,000 addition, to relieve space in Johnson County facilities including the Medical Examiner and Auditor offices.
