Wayne County Upgrades First Responder Radio System | Charleston News

Wayne County is pouring $280,000 into a major radio upgrade to eliminate deadly communication gaps—especially in the south—ensuring first responders stay connected during emergencies. Backed by county funds and a $50,000 grant from Appalachian Power Foundation, this digital overhaul will install three new channels and deploy equipment on existing towers, all set for completion by year’s end. With outdated statewide coverage leaving critical blind spots, this investment means clearer dispatches, faster response times, and safer communities across the county.
