Schererville fire chief says central station design moving forward
Summary
Chief Robert Patterson said engineers are finalizing the layout for the planned central fire station and site work will follow; no budget or timeline for completion was presented.
Fire Chief Robert Patterson told the Board of Safety the design layout for a planned central fire station on town property is advancing and the project will move to engineering and site work once the layout is finalized.
"We just, I just met with the CSK yesterday, finalizing the exact, layout of the station on the property so they can start moving forward with the engineering," Patterson said. He added that the department and the design team are determining necessary work on adjacent land and expect further updates soon.
Patterson did not provide a construction timetable, cost estimate or a formal financing plan at the March 6 meeting. He described the project status as design‑to‑engineering and said he hopes to have more detailed information in a forthcoming update.
The board did not take formal action on the station during the meeting. The chief's comments came during the new business portion of the agenda when board members asked about the central station's status.
Chief Patterson also noted coordination with other departmental planning tasks but did not identify budgetary sources or capital appropriation steps. Those details were not specified at the meeting and would require follow‑up with town administration and the project team.
