Portage County roundup: Aurora places 12-month moratorium on smoke shops, plus news from Ravenna and Streetsboro

Aurora authorized the purchase of a new 2023 ambulance. The cost is $315,000, which includes equipment that will be installed. A fire paramedic levy will pay for the ambulance.

“We probably won’t get the new ambulance until next year,” Mayor Ann Womer Benjamin said. “We have an ambulance with a lot of miles on it. After we get the new ambulance, we may continue to use the old one for backup, but eventually I expect we’ll sell it.”
