The Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District Board of Trustees is considering three locations for its Liberty Township substation.

District Chief Bradley George said the board is meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the station in Greenfield and could decide the location at that time.

George said the board has received information on a West Main Street property in Hillsboro, the former Hillsboro city building on Governor Trimble Place and North High Street and the former Chuck Wait Tire location on U.S. 62 south.

"The contractors needed a little more time to look at the buildings," George said.

If a decision is made, George said he would release the terms and conditions of the lease agreement as soon as they are finalized.

On July 10, the board of trustees of the Paint Creek Joint EMS and Fire District unanimously voted to accept Liberty and New Market townships to join the district, effective Oct. 1, 2012.

After an executive session, board member William Redenbaugh made a motion to accept the townships into the district. The resolution was passed, 5-0.

In addition to Liberty and New Market townships, the Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District serves the village of Greenfield, Madison Township, Paint Township in Highland County, Paint Township in Ross County and Buckskin Township in Ross County.

The district currently has a temporary substation in Paint Township. Paint joined the district in April of this year.
