The village plan commission approved site and operational plans for Fire Station No. 3 in Prairie Springs Park, 10165 Terwall Terrace, during Monday’s meeting.
The project will move to the village board for contract approval in January. The proposed plans place the new station at the northeast corner of Wis. Highway 165 and Terwall Terrace. Construction is proposed to start in the spring 2023 and be completed in 2024.
Fire and Rescue Chief Craig Roepke said Fire Station No. 3 will become the new headquarters for the department, supporting stations No. 1 and No. 2 by aiding in responses to concurrent calls for service.
“The new station will place the department’s critical infrastructure in a location that will enhance the overall Village emergency plan, providing appropriate response times and proper coverage distances to the Village’s southern and western areas,” Roepke said.
