Jackson County Ambulance to move HQ to Green House
Jackson County moves the ambulance office from Murphysboro City Hall to the former Roberts Residence Funeral Home known as the Green House. The county bought the building for 28000 dollars six years ago and will remodel three rooms for on duty crews and a lounge and kitchen. The CETA program in the courthouse basement expands to 339 employees with payroll near three million dollars. The only county cost is heating as ambulance gear is already available. The board also approved a 35144 dollar bid for a new county vehicle with extrication gear, funded 70 percent by the Illinois Department of Public Safety.
