Members of the Medaryville Fire Department met with an architectural firm last week to discuss a new fire station/community center.

Fire Chief Shaun Hauptli told WKVI that another representative met with the officials and couldn’t get any specific details nailed down about a new building. An architect is expected to come back to the area in a couple of weeks to get plans rolling for a building.

Hauptli said that he is continuing to work with the K-IRPC branch in Monon to get a $400,000 grant for the proposed project.

While Hauptli hasn’t discussed the project with the township trustee at this time, he stated that the best plan is to tear down the existing fire station and build a new structure. The new building would serve as a new fire station and a place for community events.
