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According to Town of Westwood officials, the project will enhance public safety by replacing a currently outdated and deteriorating facility.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.

The cost of $27,000 could have been avoided if the tax payers were notified about the idea of taking the WLT to court and it was discussed at a regular town meeting. Especially when a town takes the unusual step of taking its own land trust to court.
