More Benton County Ambulance Town Halls Set

— Benton County’s plan to pay for future rural ambulance service will be discussed at the following town hall meetings:

  • 6 p.m. tonight in the community room at the Pea Ridge Fire Department.
  • 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Centerton Fire Department.
  • 7 p.m. Monday at the Prairie Creek Community Building.

The Quorum Court in September created an emergency medical services district with an $85 annual fee. The fee would pay the county’s cost to make ambulance service available. The Quorum Court created the district and fee for households outside cities and not in the Northeast Benton County Emergency Medical Service District.

A referendum on rural ambulance service will be held Feb. 11.
