“Barbour County’s first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, and they deserve facilities and resources that match the importance of their mission. This new ambulance authority station will improve emergency response times, expand training opportunities for first responders, and ensure the community has a first-class emergency shelter and distribution center during natural disasters. I was proud to secure these funds through my position on the House Appropriations Committee. They will strengthen public safety infrastructure and keep West Virginians safe.”
