Option A was the choice of the Ellis County Commission, the Space Needs Committee and the EMS and Rural Fire Directors as they held a special meeting Monday afternoon to discuss the plans for a new emergency services building. Two members of the committee, Tom Wasinger and Errol Wuertz say this option provides a full basement with room to grow.
The specific design and final costs estimates are still to be determined. The county is considering selling other property, such as the Tholen building, to help offset some of the cost, but a plan to finance the facility also is still to be determined.
