The new 12,500 square-foot building will be built quickly and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018, according to Shelby Fire Chief Mike Thompson.
Â
Mayor Steve Schag said funding of the "state-of-the-art" building is unique in that taxpayer money will not be used to construct it.
Â
Instead, the fire chief, mayor and Friends of the the Black Fork said they have three primary sources to reach their capital campaign goal during a press conference, Tuesday in Shelby.
Â
Schag said because Grant Milliron came to the the city and told them of his desire to build the new building with his own money, tax money is not involved.
