City allocates $24000 for fire department training facility upgrades

The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen workshop on May 1, 2025, spotlighted a significant investment in public safety with a proposed $24,000 expenditure for the fire department's new training facility. This funding will cover essential fabrication services and materials, including windows, door frames, roof decking, and handrails for the upper walkways.

The training facility, located off Mason and Bain, is set to enhance the capabilities of the fire department, providing a dedicated space for training and development. The discussion highlighted the importance of equipping first responders with the best resources to ensure community safety.

While the board moved through the agenda efficiently, the focus on the training facility underscored a commitment to improving local emergency services. As the project progresses, it is expected to bolster the fire department's operational readiness and effectiveness in serving the La Vergne community.
