The Glasgow Airport Board met in special session Thursday to approve a lease with the Barren-Metcalfe Ambulance Service.
The airport board has agreed to lease a small tract of land to the ambulance service for the construction of an emergency services facility. The airport board also gave its chairman Keith Branham permission to sign the lease.
Branham said he could not disclose details about the lease until it has been signed by all parties involved.
The emergency services building will feature a bay for an ambulance operated by the Barren-Metcalfe Ambulance Service and will also feature hangar space for STATCARE’s medical helicopter and living quarters for on-duty staff employed by both agencies.
The cost to construct the facility is $840,000, a portion of which will be paid for by grants.
Barren Fiscal Court adopted an agreement last week with the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services to borrow $500,000 through the Kentucky Association of Counties Leasing Trust. The money will help fund the construction of the facility.
