The City joined with Memorial Hospital, South Bend Heritage Foundation, and the <br /> LWW Corridor Committee to develop a cohesive plan that complemented the area. "Safety is <br /> our number one priority," said Mayor Luecke. "I also appreciate the efforts that our team has <br /> made to design a building that incorporates the aesthetics of this important corridor of the city <br /> and at the same time enhancing the delivery of important safety services." <br /> Funding for the project is being provided by a contribution of$1.2 million from <br /> Memorial Hospital, and $900,000 from the County Option Income Tax (COIT) dollars. <br /> Construction is expected to be completed by October 2007. <br /> The new station will be 17,000 sq. ft. and will house Medic Unit#3,Battalion Chief <br /> #103, Engine #2, Boat#I and tow vehicle, and a Reserve Rescue Ambulance. The plans include <br /> the latest technology including a WAN connection to the City's server, three drive-through <br /> apparatus bays, and a fitness room, firefighter pole, and an exterior design with wraparound <br /> porch that will reflect the character of the neighborhood's 20t' century architecture. <br /> - 30 - <br />
