Faced With The Possibility Of Closing Two Carter County Rescue Squad Substations, The Carter County Commission Has Declined To Consider Additional Funding For The County’s Rescue Squad. This Would Ensure The County’s Property Tax Levels Would Stay At The Current Level Of $2.45 Per 100 Dollars Of Assessed Value. The Squad’s Directors Have Already Approved Closing The Substations In Hampton And Roan Mountain Because Of Declining Revenue. Officials Voted Last Week To Delay The Closures Until A Special Meeting.
