For the second time in a month, the Floyd County Council rejected a request to fund a third county ambulance, to service the Greenville area, by a 4-3 vote. At present, two ambulances provide coverage for Floyd County. But the fight is far from over. "We are going to keep bringing it up and putting it on their [council] agenda," Floyd County Commissioners' President Billy Stewart said. The commissioners recently voted 3-0 to place a New Chapel ambulance at the Greenville Fire Station. Stewart said he would even commit Economic Development Income Tax funds to pay for the ambulance if the council failed to approve $50,000 in funding from the hospital proceeds fund Tuesday.
