After much discussion among the fire district officers and the Board of Directors it has been decided to look at what the district needs to continue our current level of service. The new station will provide for our current needs, however will not provide for much future growth. The new design eliminates two engine bays and some storage area along with office space and community rooms. The total reduction is over 3,000 square feet resulting in a new station of about 13,000 square feet. This results in an estimated savings to the district of over $575,000. With this reduction, along with lower building costs, it is our hope that we will be able to reduce the building costs to 2.95 million. A new floor plan is being prepared that will enable us to obtain a new concept bid. We will continue to look for and apply for grants to further reduce the costs to the taxpayer. We hope to have building costs and tax rate information by February so we can start to have community meetings to discuss the plan. If you have any questions please stop by or give us a call.
