Brooksville volunteer fire department fundraising and building plans discussed
Summary
Selectmen reviewed fundraising progress and building plans for Cape Rosier and Brooksville fire stations; the BVFD reported it had raised about 34% of the $380,000 target for a new Cape Rosier station and requested private discussions about department matters.
The Brooksville Volunteer Fire Department (BVFD) updated the Selectmen on fundraising and construction planning for a new station on Cape Rosier, telling the board that the department has raised roughly 34% of an estimated $380,000 target.
Selectmen and department representatives discussed project timing and the possibility of using funds from the town's new-building account for the Cape station; the board did not authorize a transfer at the meeting and indicated it would consider the request if a formal proposal is submitted. BVFD leaders also requested a private meeting with Selectmen to discuss department matters, which the board acknowledged.
Separately, officials reviewed needs for equipment and building guarantees for new construction. A contractor (Morton) quoted deposit and milestone payment expectations for a 42'7x42'7 building with staged payments for materials and final completion; the department is continuing fundraising and exploring grant and reserve-account options.
Next steps: The BVFD will continue fundraising, provide a formal proposal if it requests town funds, and request any further approvals as needed.
