Marion considering $964000 east side fire station
An architect’s estimate sets the Marion east side fire station at 964 128 including site and equipment costs. The plan would place the station east of the current police building on Katz family land and add two firefighters if built. A referendum could be held by early summer with a 60 percent vote needed for bonds, aided by a $100 000 donation from the Marion Firefighters Association. Construction could begin in summer 1991 if approved.
