Greenville considers new fire house, again

Feb 09, 2017 12:04 am
Andrea Macko reports in The Greenville Pioneer that Greenville fire commissioners are discussing another effort to new fire station, two year after voters rejected a $5.4 million proposal. Residents voted 486-84 in 2015 against a new firehouse that would have gone on State Route 81, just east of County Route 41. Commissioner Eric Bear says trucks cannot fit in the current building's garage bays. Town Councilman John Bensen said this proposal should be more modest than the last. "We don't need the Taj Mahal. [The previous proposal] was very nice, but belongs in a community with more people and a bigger tax base," he said. The print edition of The Greenville Pioneer has the full story.
