    The fire station needs tobe relocated. It sits in between two major ghuts. The appliances and equipment are being destroyed every time the place floods. If the fire service can't protect their resources,how will they protect the community?

    Who is Trojan Development? Any info on their qualifications and abilities? And, can we have more details on “making good to all damages incurred during the construction process to the adjacent fire station”. And, why no stated date of completion? Presumably then no liquidated damages clause, meaning 100% completion is likely to drag on.

      The same company who designed the high school.

      Same company who got the contract to design the “Law Offices” which seems to have gone cold.

      Now they have this.
