SCHOHARIE — In 1970, Scho-Wright Ambulance Service was formed and we purchased an old garage that was for sale for our building. In 2007, we decided it was time to replace it. Under the leadership of the ambulance Board of Directors and President Scott Haverly, we began the process and planning for this major undertaking. The new building cost $450,000.

To pay for this building we raised $140,000 in donations from the generosity of the communities we serve. We secured a NYS Legislative Grant for $10,000 from Assemblyman Peter Lopez and wrote the extensive mortgage application to secure a 30-year Mortgage through the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Service at 2.5% interest.

In Albany, the State Board met that March and Treasurer Gen Overholt and President Scott Haverly were required to attend the meeting for their review of our application. The State Board approved the application and the building was built with our any taxpayer money.
