Rep. Moore Secures $1.6M for Barbour County EMS and Water Line Repairs in Taylor County
The funding of over $1.6 million for ambulance services in Barbour County is critical for enhancing local emergency response capabilities. Additionally, a temporary water line for Taylor County ensures a reliable water supply while a permanent solution is underway.
Rep. Riley Moore announced over $1.6 million in funding for the Barbour County Ambulance Authority to construct a new station, essential for replacing a 70-year-old facility not designed for current EMS needs.
This funding was secured through Moore's role on the House Appropriations Committee. In Taylor County, a temporary water line was completed recently to address supply issues caused by breaks in the main line over three years ago.
A permanent line is planned, with ongoing collaboration between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Taylor County Public Service District. These initiatives indicate a commitment to improving critical infrastructure and public services in West Virginia, although reliance on temporary solutions may pose risks during implementation.
