The department's current station (the former Jack Miller tractor repair shop) will be in service during the construction.
"The new station will actually be built behind the former tractor repair shop," Wolfe said. "Once the new station is built, we'll tear down the old tractor shop."
To ensure the continuity of emergency response services during construction, fire apparatus will also remain in a temporary pole barn built in 2013. The new station can store all equipment and gear under one roof.
