Update on Timeline for Construction of New Beulah Fire Station

The glacially slow process of building the new fire station in Beulah has consumed the first five full years of my time on the Board of County Commissioners.

But we're finally on the brink of moving this project forward.

Property has been acquired (took 3 years), design funded, and construction is funded.  Now, all that is left is getting this project out to bid.  According to staff, we are looking at a May groundbreaking.  Below is the tentative schedule for this project based on Building Inspections being able to review and comment on the plans within 30 days and Purchasing having out for bids within 14 days.
