The first of three public meetings for the community to learn about project details for Westwood's proposed new Fire Station 1 will be held at Westwood's Main Library on Tuesday, February 4th, at 6:00 p.m., said Westwood Deputy Administrator Molly Fitzpatrick early this week.
According to Town of Westwood officials, the project will enhance public safety by replacing a currently outdated and deteriorating facility. The proposed new fire station will replace the existing Fire Station 1, which was built in 1948 and last renovated and expanded in 1975. Officials state that the new, modern facility will be able to address shortcomings of the current facility in providing public protection.
This project will be brought to a vote at the upcoming Town Meeting on Monday, May 19th, and subsequently at the election on June 3rd.
Thanks to Westwood Deputy Town Administrator Molly Fitzpatrick for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 33 and low of 9 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light freezing rain during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
The fire station needs to be built ASAP. This situation for the firefighters and the town is just ridiculous. The need for a new fire station out ways the costs that are being argued over.
To the Board (or what's left of it), this continuous behavior of placating the residents is insulting.
Please don't blame Joe. Everyone knows it has always been 2 against 1 since day one of his (elected) term.
Not necessarily blaming one. But we need Board members who aren't afraid to stand their ground and say no. Enough of the go along to get along mentality. This needs to end. That's why it's imperative that we expand this Board to five Members. We need better representation.
