Friendship Volunteer Fire Department seeks county support for Station No. 2 pad
Summary
Representatives from Friendship Volunteer Fire Department asked commissioners for dirt‑work assistance to build a two‑bay Station No. 2 on County Road 22; commissioners agreed to place the request on the Tuesday agenda and discussed footprint and timeline.
Representatives of the Friendship Volunteer Fire Department requested county help to clear and prepare a pad for a planned two‑bay Station No. 2 on 5 acres at County Road 22. Wayne Wheeler described the project footprint and said the department has secured funding for the building but needs assistance with site preparation and elevations for concrete footings.
Commissioners and staff discussed timeline options and agreed the county could perform dirt work and site prep; staff said the building could be delivered about four to six months after final site readiness and bank approval. The commission asked staff to bring the item to Tuesday's agenda so commissioners can consider a formal motion to authorize the dirt work and funding source.
