Fire siren relocation could save town's taxpayers money
Manchester plans to move the fire siren from a 30 foot tower behind Grand Union to a steel base on Battenkill Locker roof atop the Depot. Town Manager Walter Hazard says the change, made after consulting the selectmen and fire department, should save about $1000 and be completed in about a week. Work began with trimming an elm to avoid muffling the siren. Paul Anderson will build the metal base.
