The Wheatland firehouse design is still a work in progress, but a special meeting of the electors is scheduled Aug. 10 to vote on spending up to $2.5 million for an addition to existing station. Town Chairman Bill Glembocki made a motion to determine if the $2.5 million price tag would fly with residents. It was approved by a 2-1 vote, with supervisor Kelly Wilson casting the dissenting vote. Wilson said she disagreed with presenting the $2.5 million figure apart from a plan that voters may be willing to spend more on. In February, voters rejected a referendum to spend $3.8 million on a new firehouse developed by a committee that included Wilson and members of the fire department. The town has been working with Scherrer Construction since then to design an addition to the existing firehouse at a cost not to exceed $2.5 million.
