Local Counties May Merge 9-1-1 Service
Mercer, New Castle – Mercer and Lawrence Counties have taken the first steps towards possibly merging their 9-1-1 call centers. Both boards of commissioners have approved measures to apply for a grant from the PA Emergency Management Agency that would fund a feasibility study for the idea. According to Mercer County Commissioner Bill Finley, the only agreement so far is that both counties would like to have a study done. A complete merger of the two county 9-1-1 centers would take years.
