The Halfmoon-Waterford Fire District has established a committee to come up with a less costly option for a new fire station, months after a more-than-$13 million project was voted down by residents.
The group’s job is to “start the project back at square one,” district Commissioner John D’Alessandro said, and to work with an architect and real estate agent to design a new firehouse or seek out open property in Halfmoon or Waterford where a firehouse could be built.
The committee will also analyze public comments about the previously proposed project, many of which suggested a desire for a scaled-down plan or a different layout.
The committee includes district Chief Rich Gaudette, Deputy Chief Jim Mulligan, Assistant Chief Tony Bonventre, district Safety Officer Chuck Kuhns, Captain Dennis Weaver and Commissioner Peter Semenza, according D’Alessandro, who is also on the committee.
