Ada Township is moving forward with renovations to Fire Station 1 after the Fire Department's 24-hour staffing change.
The Township Board approved the department's request to seek proposals for an addition to Fire Station 1, 6990 Fulton St. SE, during a board meeting on Monday, March 12.
Ken Dixon, of Dixon Architecture, presented the proposal, which includes construction of barracks for overnight firefighters and additional storage. The Fire Department has been working with Dixon Architecture to develop plans for the addition.
"Over the last month of February, we've been doing that work, talking with a construction engineer...civil engineer and meeting with the fire chief to go over the plans," Dixon said.
