An ambulance service in Centre county is looking for a solution to an uncertain future.
The Penns Valley ambulance service, like many others across the state, is experiencing a financial crisis.
The stations serve the Centre Hall and Millheim boroughs, along with Gregg, Haines, Miles and Potters townships. Tonight, officials from those municipalities got together to discuss possible solutions.
One of the possibilities discussed was to impose a half-million-dollar tax across all seven municipalities to generate $140,000 in revenue to maintain operations.
Other solutions were to merge with another EMS service, or do nothing.
Penns Valley EMS officials project that if nothing is done, the station will cease to exist by mid-2019.
It will be up to municipal leaders to figure out a solution in the upcoming months.
