Northampton County Council will tonight consider the purchase of Bethlehem's 911 assets for a net profit to Bethlehem of $1.37 million. The county is poised to assume control of Bethlehem's emergency calls by the end of June. That's when the state stops providing 911 funds to Bethlehem.
Clarification, 10:10 am: It's a poor choice of words to say Bethlehem is making a profit. It is getting what it needs to pay off the debt. Sorry for the confusion.
