(Napoleon, Ind.) – A new fire station for the Town of Napoleon is being made possible by a newly announced grant.
The town has been awarded $500,000 for the construction of a new fire station from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch announced Thursday.
According to OCRA, the grant will fund the construction of a new, 8,400-foot fire station for the Napoleon Volunteer Fire Department. The building on Millhousen Road will have four drive-thru bays, a training room, and warming kitchen.
The current Napoleon Fire Department facility was constructed in 1953, according to the department.
The federal grant is among 18 others totaling $10 million for communities across the state.
“Rural communities are the next great economic frontier for our state, and it is vital they are receiving support to keep Indiana moving forward," Crouch said. "With these funds, local governments are able to complete various projects like improving their infrastructure, downtown revitalization and public facilities improvements."
