The Kewaunee County Emergency Dispatch Center is getting a big boost towards a state of the art 911 system.    The Wisconsin Office of Emergency Communications has awarded $125,332.80 toward the purchase of a NextGen 911 system  That would replace current equipment which is twenty-years-old.  Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski says NextGen 911 will allow emergency services personnel to locate where calls are coming from and respond quicker.

The grant will cover 60-percent of the cost of the new system with 40-percent of funding coming from Kewaunee County.
