Clayton and Orleans Ask for Help Funding TIERS

 Print This Page

The towns of Clayton and Orleans are sending out a call for help when it comes to funding the Thousand Islands Emergency Rescue Service.

The two towns pay a combined $175,000 every year to help with the ambulance’s operating costs.

However, because several neighboring towns also use TIERS, Clayton and Orleans are hoping those towns will contribute to the price tag.

Clayton and Orleans are sending out letters to Alexandria, Cape Vincent, Theresa, and Lyme.

Last year, TIERS responded to the majority of its calls in Orleans and Clayton. It responded to 95 calls in Alexandria, 76 in Cape Vincent, and 28 in Theresa.
