Hernando County Commissioners were excited to put behind them a nearly five-year long challenge of finding funds to upgrade the county’s emergency radio system.
The Hernando County Fire and Sheriff’s services will greatly benefit from the upgrade, as it will now cover up to 98% of the county. The commissioners approved a $12.5 million contract to Communications International Inc. at the most recent board meeting on June 22. Funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act will be applied to the contract.
