(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission is moving forward with plans to construct a new EMS building in Seneca.

During the Commission’s February 9th meeting, Emergency Management Director Eddie Aldrine and Con Olson with Techs Incorporated presented a possible floor plan for the proposed facility.

Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize Commissioner Jason Koch to engage a designer to draw up layout plans for the building at a cost not to exceed 300 dollars.

In December of 2024, the Commission approved the allocation of 500 thousand dollars in ARPA funding to support construction of the new EMS building.

Nemaha County EMS is currently housed alongside the Seneca Fire Department at 601 Main Street in Seneca.

No timeline for construction has been announced.
