The Shavers Creek Volunteer Fire Department recently broke ground on its future station. The $550,000 facility is expected to be ready by this Christmas.
The department writes:
From a one-classroom schoolhouse to a 2022 pre-engineered fire station. As most of you know, the Shavers Creek Volunteer Fire Department purchased the property of the Mooresville church to be able to build a fire station to serve the residents of West and Barree Township, as well as assisting surrounding fire Departments.
Over the last few months, the Fire Company has been meeting with different contractors trying to find the one that would best benefit us. And proudly we can say that we have officially given the approval and put a down payment to move forward and purchase a $550,000, 60-foot-wide-by-72-foot-long (4320 square feet) pre-engineered building with 1,500 square feet of office space through Scenic Ridge Construction Company.
We are excited to get the process started and have the new Station 11 up by Christmas 2022, maybe even sooner. We are excited to take these next few steps and can’t wait till we put the first shovel in the ground. The members of the Shaver’s Creek Fire Company are incredibly thankful for all the support from the community over the last few years to help us get this project underway.
We will be posting updates as much as we can, so be on the lookout. Anyone wishes to help us please reach out to a member or post to Facebook. We are looking for donations to offset the loan burden or if you have a trade skill give us a call.
