Farwell Fire Hall and City Office Plan Proposed
The Farwell Village Council discussed applying for federal aid to build a new fire hall and village office in Farwell. The village would cover about 42 percent of costs, with 58 percent sought from the Accelerated Works Program. The current fire station is in an old cement block building in the village park and lacks office space. The push follows Clare County’s designation as an Area Redevelopment Area and mirrors Clare city’s recent grant application for a water filtration plant.
