A new regional dispatch center took one step closer to reality on May 17.
During the virtual Select Board meeting in Concord, town leaders from Concord and Acton discussed a draft of an agreement on a new district, the Acton Concord Regional Communications Center, or the AC RECC.
The draft agreement establishes the governance model between Concord and Acton. It establishes an independent district to operate the regional emergency communications center.
“Some regional dispatch centers are created under an inter-municipal agreement with a host community,” Crane said. “Others are created under a district agreement for an independent district. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. But we believe a district approach makes more sense for Acton and Concord.”
