Tomorrow plans for our new fire station will be submitted to the Planning Commission for review and comment. The building committee from the fire department has been meeting almost weekly to help facilitate a functional and cost effective design. Our design firm has been a big help as well.
Last week we held an informational meeting with our new neighbors to get their feedback and answer any concerns they might have. There are a lot of misconceptions about the noise that would be generated by a fire station. We did our best to answer the concerns and provide factual information about our operations.
With luck we hope to begin construction by the end of September and operating the new facility by next July.
