Building Code May Cut Middleport Fire Insurance Rates
Middleport officials say adopting a building code could lower fire insurance rates after a rate increase from Class 6 to Class 7. Council delayed action until March 26 amid opposition while the village already prepared fire hose and salvage gear to meet recommendations. The code, from the National Board of Fire Underwriters, outlines construction, alterations, and permit fees up to a square foot basis, with certain redecorating tasks exempt. Copies of the code are available at village hall.
