Cordova, MD - Talbot County officials have announced that construction is officially underway on a new North EMS Station, located off Route 309 in Cordova. A ceremonial groundbreaking is planned for Monday, September 29, 2025, at 4:30 p.m.
The new facility, located on a five-acre parcel in Cordova, is designed to improve emergency response times and enhance public safety for residents in the northern part of the county, including the Queen Anne–Hillsboro area. The station will feature four bays, dedicated storage, and space for a 24/7 paramedic and EMT unit, further strengthening Talbot County’s emergency response capabilities.
The $1.6 million project is fully funded by Talbot County Government and represents a major milestone in the County’s ongoing efforts to reduce EMS response times and to further support public safety. Currently, most areas of Talbot County meet the County’s eight-minute response goal; however, Cordova and surrounding communities average closer to 10 minutes.
“Investing in public safety infrastructure is one of the most important things we can do for our residents,” said Clay Stamp, County Manager. “This new station will allow our emergency services team to reach people faster and save more lives.”
Council President Chuck Callahan emphasized the importance of collaboration in bringing the project to life.
“We’re grateful for the Gannon family’s partnership in making this station possible,” Callahan said. “Sylvia Gannon, a former Talbot County Council member, was an early and passionate supporter of emergency medical services in our county. This project honors her legacy and strengthens our commitment to providing high-quality EMS care to all residents.”
County officials, first responders, and community members are invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of this important project.
