Franklin County is considering converting the old Carrabelle Annex building into an Emergency Medical Service Substation.
The Annex, which used to serve as a Department of Transportation Office, is located just east of Carrabelle, which would give ambulances quicker response times to Lanark Village and Alligator Point.
The current substation is in a strip mall just west of the city.
Franklin County has a 30-year lease on the annex and as part of the $1 a year lease, the County is responsible for maintaining the building.
The building is currently in need of substantial repairs – it suffered substantial roof damage during Hurricane Michael in 2018 and would need other repairs and upgrades to make it suitable for EMS.
The county has contacted a company called Florida Retrofit in the hopes they will be able to provide an estimate of what it would cost to repair and convert the building into an EMS substation.
