Nelsonville weighs fire station and truck needs with funds
Nelsonville reports $54,185 in federal revenue sharing to date. Of this, $20,000 paid off bank notes to save about $1,000 yearly interest on sewer extension costs for Tri County Joint Vocational High School. Officials consider buying the William Meyer estate adjoining city hall as the top priority for a new fire station. A pumper could cost at least $30,000, with $24,000 needed for the Meyer property. A vacant three story building would need razing, and Stratton's former garage could temporarily house an ambulance and fire truck. Regulations require funds to serve priority needs, and the city must report spending plans to the federal government. Delivery of a new fire truck would likely be at least one year after order. The current pumper is over 20 years old.
