“Motion carried. We are building a fire station,” said Flandreau Mayor Dan Sutton.
This past week, the Flandreau City Council — after more than three years of planning, preparation, discussions about financing, materials shortages, price hikes, more planning, and taking public input, made a final decision on the buildout of a new Flandreau Fire Station.
Council members voted Tuesday to approve the base bid from WS Construction for $2,947,000. They also voted to approve the construction of a mezzanine, or special dedicated storage area, for an additional $72,000.
A new display area for the old antique fire truck, which currently sits on 2nd Avenue in the old Fire Hall, was not included in the final plan, nor was an outdoor sprinkler system.
There is $1.5M in financing already established for the project. The city will most likely borrow an additional $475,000 from the local branch of the First Savings Bank.
