Summary
The town is moving emergency operations from the historic downtown fire station to Station 3 on Hunter Street, and now will spend $170,000 on a 9-10 month study of what to do with the Salem Street site. Former volunteer firefighters and a former council member urged preservation, saying the merger agreement assumed the station would always operate. No demolition or redevelopment decision has been made yet.
