Castorland

, NY-

State and local officials gathered in Castorland this afternoon

to break ground for the first of two phases towards a new fire hall in the village.

"A new building is no longer a want, but a need," fire chief Gary Ashline said

during the ceremony, while noting the space issues facing the department.

The first phase of the project will consist of the construction of a new 40 foot by

60 foot building to be used for meetings, in addition to use as a community room.

This phase is estimated to cost $225,000.

The second phase, anticipated for 2020, will construct 60 foot by 96 foot truck

bay, connected to the first building. This will include a bay for each of the

department's five trucks, along with a wash bay. There will also be a shower and

wash room for firefighters returning from a fire. This phase of the project is

estimated at a cost of $600,000.
