Plans for Winifred fire hall and 600–700-seat grandstand outlined to council
Summary
Brandon Ewen updated the council on a proposed fire hall to be sited on land owned by Richard Vestal and on extensive stock yards improvements including a new grandstand seating an estimated 600–700 people. Work on water and septic options is ongoing with DEQ.
At the Feb. 11 meeting, Brandon Ewen briefed the Town of Winifred council on progress toward a new fire hall to be built on land owned by Richard Vestal. The minutes record that contractor Adam Hershberger is the project contractor and that water service will be required to provide sewer service and a kitchen. Ewen said he is working with the state Department of Environmental Quality on septic options for the building.
Ewen also reported on work at the stock yards, describing plans for a large new grandstand with seating for about 600 to 700 people, including a kitchen, bathrooms and a crow’s nest. The council did not take formal action on those projects at the meeting; the minutes say the projects are a work in process with "lots of decisions to be made." No funding sources or construction timelines were specified in the minutes.
Council members asked for further updates and the record indicates final decisions remain pending as technical and permitting questions (septic/water) are resolved with DEQ and other stakeholders.
