LaGrange fire levy approved for new station
Voters in LaGrange and LaGrange Township backed a replacement fire levy 1076 to 666. The Fire and Rescue Department serves both areas and a new station will be built on Village land behind the municipal building on South Center Street. The village will lease land to the township for 1 annually for 49 years, site south of the railroad tracks. Fire Chief Duke Coursen warned that train traffic could block southbound emergency vehicles from the township’s other two stations.

Fire and ambulance station levy plan outlined
A 2.5 millage cap and 5 year levy replace an older tax to fund a new fire and ambulance station. A $100000 home would pay about $87.50 annually. Officials say funds may support daytime staffing with one fulltime paramedic and volunteer paramedics alternating shifts.
