The American Red Cross is expected to stay at the St. Clair County Emergency Operations Center on Airport Drive in Kimball, just days after officials said it would leave. Homeland Security Director Justin Westmiller says new lease terms are essentially settled, with final county approval likely before the current lease ends October thirtieth. He says the Red Cross brings vital shelter and mass-care expertise during emergencies, making the partnership worth far more than the roughly three hundred dollars a month in rent.
