VIDEO: The city of Center Point in Linn County started its fundraising campaign for a new fire station on Monday. The campaign follows a vote earlier in the month, when 80% of voters approved a bond to pay for part of the project. The new station will replace the current one, which volunteers say is too small for the growing community. The current station dates back to the 1950's when the city's population was less than one thousand people. City leaders expect that population to have tripled to nearly three thousand in next year's census. Center Point Fire Chief Doug Felton says the department needs more space for storage, accessibility to equipment and for training.
