Grey County is pursuing land in Feversham for new paramedic base.
The County says the base is needed in the area to enhance response times and meet the increased and projected demand for paramedic services.
County Warden Andrea Matrosovs says in a statement, ““When an accident or medical emergency happens, Grey County residents and visitors should be confident help will arrive quickly,” adding, “Grey County is investing in our paramedic services not just to meet the needs of our community today, but for years to come.”
It’s working with the municipality of Grey Highlands on a land transfer of municipal property beside a salt dome in Feversham.
There is no purchase cost expected for the land and the total cost for the new base is estimated at $1.6 million.
The Feversham base is one of four new bases in Grey County’s capital and operational plans. New builds are being considered for Ayton in 2026, Thornbury in 2027, and Cobble Beach in 2028.
The county intends to use the plans for the Feversham base at the other sites as well.
