Liberty buys land for new fire station
Less than a week before Liberty trustees celebrate the opening of its newest fire house, they approved a purchase of nearly four acres of land for another station.
Excerpt
Trustees took the first step Tuesday, March 2, to building a fourth township firehouse with the purchase of more than four acres of land.
Trustees unanimously approved a total of $221,700 for the purchase of the two adjacent tracts — totaling nearly 4.4 acres — near the corner of Kyles Station and Cincinnati-Dayton roads.
The cost for the land tops out at $211,500, and the township will use the remaining $10,200 for surveying, environmental studies and closing costs, according to Administrator Dina Minneci. Minneci expects that work and the closing process to take approximately 90 days, meaning the land will be officially turned over to the township on or before June 2.
Few things about this purchase and the future of the fire station. Township Administrator Dina Minneci said Tuesday the new building would likely mirror the one trustees built off Ohio 747 near Ohio 4. Minneci said as a result, the township would likely be able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in engineering and other costs.
It’s also not expected to come to fruition this year. While some planning may take place, construction may not start on the new station until sometime in 2011. Stay tuned for the possibility of a fire levy sometime between now and then.
And, as for the open house, it’s slated for noon to 3 p.m., Saturday, March 12. Station 111’s address is 6682 Princeton-Glendale Road.
