Concept Plan Approved For New Platteville Fire Station

The Platteville Common Council has unanimously approved a concept plan for the city’s new fire station to be built at the site of the O.E. Gray Learning Center. Council members approved the plan at their regular meeting, where they also discussed next steps for some of the current tenants of O.E. Gray Early Learning Center, which will be demolished to make space for the new station. The new, $13 million station will consist of a two-story structure that includes seven full apparatus bays and a support garage, as well as decontamination spaces and dormitories that currently are lacking from the existing fire station. Council members also will have the option to include a basement for an additional $3 million.
