Van Orden Requests Funding For Boscobel Firehouse

Third District Congressman Derek Van Orden of Prairie du Chien has requested $7 million in federal funding toward the cost of a new emergency services station in Boscobel. Fire district officials say a new fire station is needed to replace the current fire station, which is 60 years old. It is now too small to house today’s modern equipment. Carol Roth, a consultant and owner of Starfish Consulting, who also served as executive director of Driftless Devlopment has come on board to help raise funds for the new construction, if approved.
