There is some light at the end of the tunnel for the Allegany County, MD Company... Relocating to another building and letting the bank foreclose on the present station and land has already been decided. In this case the Department chose to put itself out of service until funding could be stabilized and a secure home could be found to run out of. Right now surplus equipment and the utility rig are being sold.
After a meeting last night they received some bad news from their community special taxing district but on the other hand a potential buyer has come forward that is interested in purchasing the station who would allow the department to run out of the portion the new owner would not need.
Merging and becoming a sub-station with another department is being actively discussed also. The only real issue at this point is the number of volunteers the station needs. With the loss of the school and good jobs overall, the town has become nothing more than a convenience store stop between two cities with a transient population.
Time will time.......
