EfficientGovNow Finalist - Combined Dispatch to Save Lives and Money in Ashland County

The EfficientGovNow program, through the Fund for Our Economic Future, aims to accelerate government collaboration and efficiency by providing as much as $300,000 in funding to as many as three collaborative government projects from throughout Northeast Ohio. Through the month of July 2009, the citizens of Northeast Ohio will vote on which of the 9 finalists will receive funding.

This project is a collaboration of the County of Ashland, City Of Ashland, Village of Loudonville

The partners propose to purchase required hardware and software to upgrade Ashland County 9-1-1/Communications Systems to meet the Federal Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Standards. By upgrading equipment, the partners would be able to receive emergency 9-1-1 calls from newer technology sources and efficiently route those calls, along with location information, to the appropriate authorities. By implementing state-of-the-art technologies, communities would receive long-term financial benefits through more efficient, cost-effective use of public community resources.

Currently, our Ashland County 9-1-1 service supports Ashland County and our neighbors in Richland, Wayne and Medina counties. We value our community's security as well as those of our neighbors, friends and relatives. Reducing emergency response times by as little as a few seconds, will greatly impact the outcome of a life and death situation. We are asking for your vote on Project #3. Thank you.
