Fire/Rescue Building Project

Fire Station Planning:  Over the past three years, the town has been appropriating $50,000.00 a year for the planning of a new Fire Station.  In December 2018, the Board of Selectmen in conjunction with the Planning Committee, entered into a contract with Port City Architecture to complete a feasibility study for the new facility to house both the Fire Department and Rescue Squad on land owned by the Town on Lebanon Road, incorporating the existing Rescue Squad Building into the design.  This land is geographically located in the center of the Town.  Port City Architecture completed a feasibility study in the Summer/Fall of 2019.  Conceptual Plans have been created of the proposed new Station, however, final design has not been completed. It is planned to finetune the design in an effort to bring it to voters for approval, however, at this time the project has been placed on hold due to the projected construction costs.  It is hoped to revisit the project within the next year.
