MARSHALL TOWNSHIP, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – The Marshall Township Board has taken a step toward building a new fire station that has more training space for firefighters and additional bays for fire trucks as well as more storage for life-saving equipment.
The new proposed Fire Station 1 in Marshall Township will be built at 13550 15 Mile Road, just across the street from its current location. Officials say the move will allow the land where the current station is located to be part of the Marshall Area Jobs, Opportunities, and Recreation Campus (MAJOR), home to Ford’s BlueOval Battery Park Michigan and other future businesses.
Members of the Marshall Township Board note that state funding will cover the costs of building the new station.
The new station will still be located within 2 miles of most Marshall Township residents.
The new station is expected to be finished in about a year. Fire station operations won’t leave the old building until the new one is ready for occupancy.
