Elliott Fiscal Court Receives $2.5mil for New Ambulance Service
In Spring of 2026, with the support of the fiscal court, Judge Lewis applied for an Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Grant to replace the existing ambulance service. On October 9, at the Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) Summit, Congressman Hal Rogers and Governor Andy Beshear presented Judge Lewis with a ceremonial check in the amount of $2,5000,000.
We want to thank Congressman Rogers, Governor Beshear, Secretary John Lyons, Senator Phillip Wheeler, Representative Richard White, Eric Patton, Lashawna Miller & Luke Stapleton with FIVCO, Jim Skaggs, Kevin Winkleman, and our EC Ambulance Service Board of Directors for their individual works to get this project funded.
We look forward to beginning the discussions on this new project and adding it to the existing AML Grant project we are currently working on in the construction of our new EOC. These are greatly appreciated here in our community as infrastructure ages and new facilities are needed.
