Alpha Fire Company has three fire stations in the Centre Region, and a new one might be on the horizon. Centre Region Council of Governments Fire Protection staff evaluated the desirability and feasibility of establishing a fire station in Ferguson Township, at the request of the township.
The township’s 2017 budget has $80,000 set aside for land acquisition, Pribulka said.
The next step for the township is for the Board of Supervisors to discuss the report and its results at an upcoming meeting.
The report recommends that construction take place either in the short term (one to three years) or the near term (three to five years), and finds that the most desirable location for a station would be along West Whitehall Road between West College Avenue and Plainfield Road.
