Allen County Commissioner Bill King said Tuesday morning Moran ambulance attendants told him black mold was growing on the walls of their station.
While commissioners have approved new stations to be built in Humboldt and Moran, the going has been slow.
Cole Herder, Humboldt administrator, said a property on Ninth Street had been rejected because of the extensive remediation necessary to clean up the soil of an abandoned gas station.
King said he would get to work on securing a site in Moran.
The ambulance stations are expected to cost in the neighborhood of $300,000, although that number may float considerably if site acquisition and preparation and other factors prove costly.
SOME FIELD entrances opened to accommodate construction of the EDP Renewables wind farm lacked drainage pipes, said King, which could cause problems (to roads and adjacent property) if heavy rain occurred.
King, the commissions representative, and others with the county will meet with wind farm principals soon to make certain construction issues and other matters of interest are fully vetted.
An alley in Mildred, owned by the county, will be improved to provide easy access to a mobile home park Loren Lance, who owns the Mildred Store with wife Regina, has opened. Roads in Mildred became wards of the county when the town was unincorporated.
