Tredyffrin Township supervisors are holding a public hearing 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6 to purchase a 6.3-acre property for the Berwyn Fire Company.
The property at 1485 Valley Forge Road was owned by the Cradle of Liberty Council Inc., Boy Scouts of America.
The plan is to use the building as a substation for Chesterbrook, Glenhardie and the Swedesford Road corridor within the next few months.
A portion of the building would then be leased to the Cradle of Liberty Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America.
The substation is part of an $8 million project, which also includes constructing a new station to replace its 93-year-old station on Bridge Avenue.
The fire company provides services to both Tredyffrin and Easttown township. Tredyffrin Township has a population of 29,461 and Easttown has a population of 10,646.
