Village officials on April 12 said the Fire Station Project has moved into preconstruction and is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Engineer Daniel Collins reported that the preconstruction meeting has taken place and that the project is expected to commence shortly. Fire Chief Jason Buss said he is "impressed with the conduct and experience of the contractor and architect and is confident everyone will do a great job." Chief Buss also announced a regional fire‑behavior training exercise: an Ohio Fire Academy flashover trailer will be parked behind the village fire station on Saturday, April 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; residents should expect to see smoke in the area during the training. Captain Zemek will conduct the training, and Chief Buss said the department has extra gear available for councilmembers who wish to observe.
No construction start date was set at the meeting beyond "the next few weeks," and no contract awards or funding details were discussed on the public record. Council and staff will monitor the project schedule and public notifications about activity and training near the station.
