N. Strabane Moving Forward On New Fire Station

Township growth means expansion of emergency services and North Strabane Supervisors are on top of that expansion with the continued development of the fire department’s substation #2. North Strabane Township Manager Andrew Walz explains that a new substation is needed in the Eighty Four area of North Strabane Township because their insurance carrier determined that response times needed to improve in that area. That coupled with the fact that the area is beginning to be developed and Walz expects development to continue for several decades, a new substation is in order. Supervisors expect to award the bids next week and ground will be broken shortly after. If no significant delays are encountered, Walz expects to have the new substation operating in late spring of 2020.
