  • 911 Board looks to increase revenue

    The Grant County 911 Board is looking at options to increase revenue with only enough money in its reserves for 15 months before going broke.
    The board, which is comprised of the Dry Ridge, Williamstown, Crittenden and Corinth mayors, along with the Grant County judge-executive, has a balance of around $176,000.

    To operate the 911 emergency call system, the board pays nearly $40,000 every three months to Kentucky State Police.

    Even as the board’s funds dwindle, KSP is looking to increase the cost from about $160,000 a year to $172,000 a year.
