Greensburg, IN — Greensburg City Council on Tuesday night passed several legally-required resolutions related to the fire station and street department campus project.

Public hearings were held for a Preliminary Determination to Issue Bonds, and for Leases.

There were no comments from the public during either hearing and council passed the resolutions.

Plans call for the new fire station and street department headquarters to be built on 10 acres on a 20-acre parcel at the corner of Barachel and Broadway.

Construction could begin early next year, with the street department taking occupancy of its building in either October or November 2023 and the fire station would go online in March 2024.

The new firehouse would replace Fire Station One on Ireland Street, which was been in service since 1975 and is considered obsolete.

The street department is looking to move out of its current building on Monfort Street, which is also considered cramped and out-of-date.
