## Resource

Fayetteville city leaders just approved a bold plan to merge their 911 operations with Cumberland County’s — a move long overdue but delayed by power struggles over who controls the process. Facing mounting state pressure, including a looming bill that could force the merger in 12 months and place county leadership in charge, Fayetteville is pushing back, insisting on local control. Their proposal includes hiring a consultant within 15 days, drafting a formal agreement, and aiming for a joint center operational in 18–24 months — all while guaranteeing current dispatchers keep their jobs. Mayor Mitch Colvin hopes this local initiative will sway state lawmakers to pause mandates and let the county’s municipalities collaborate. Now, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners must decide — with emergency meetings scheduled — whether to embrace this plan or risk state-imposed consolidation that could reshape emergency response across the region.
