PIEDMONT - The City of Piedmont is now on board with the Mineral County mapping and addressing project to be in compliance with United States Postal Service (USPS) and National Emergency Numbers Association (NENA) standards.
The council voted to accept the resolution at the January 23 meeting when all but one council member, Streets Commissioner Bob Fike, voted to support the new system.
Fike does not support the project because he believes the majority of emergency calls within the town are responded to by Tri-Towns Fire Department in Piedmont, Tri-Towns Emergency Medical Services and Potomac Fire Department - both of Westernport, not by any other entity of Mineral County.
