Officials of Goodwill Hose Co. Ambulance Association in Flemington gathered under a brilliantly blue sky before lining up to sink their gold-gilded shovels into the ground Monday afternoon.
After a year’s preparation, and many more years of fundraising, hoping and praying, selected members of the organization broke ground Monday on the future site of its new six-bay structure, at 312 Canal St., Flemington.
The association is celebrating its 75th anniversary in huge style this year, with the construction of a new $775,000 facility. When finished, the six-bay facility will cover 73,000 square feet and will provide an area for staff, training and equipment storage as well as the garage area.
