Approved ARPA Project: Fletcher EMS Station #6, $3,100,000

On Howard Gap Road in the town of Fletcher, a four bay EMS station will be constructed as part of the County's effort to strengthen its emergency response capabilities. The engineering and design phase of this project is currently underway, and it is anticipated to begin construction by the fall of 2023 and be completed by the summer of 2024. Currently, the EMS team assigned to this station works during the daytime hours out of the Fletcher Fire Station. When the new station is completed, a 24-hour truck stationed in Fletcher will have access to the amenities it needs. The Board of Commissioners voted to approve $3.1 million of the County's awarded ARPA dollars for the construction of the new base. The County anticipates that by placing the facility in the town of Fletcher, it will help to manage the overall volume of EMS calls and speed up emergency call responses.
