NEWBURYPORT — The mayor's office yesterday confirmed ambulance provider American Medical Response is in negotiations with a not-yet-named ambulance service to take over its contract with the city.
Mayor Donna Holaday said she wasn't at liberty to discuss the ambulance service at the center of the talks, but acknowledged that whatever company takes over the contract would be based af AMR's Boston Way location.
AMR's contract with the city expires in June. Its Newburyport location employs approximately 45 paramedics and EMTs and handles about 13,750 calls annually.
