White River fire station site

       White River Township Volunteer Fire Department has found a Greenwood site for its new fire station after a search that lasted more than a year. The department has bought land at Meridian Parke Shopping Center for the  $300,000 fire station. Last year, the department was refused a zoning variance needed to build the station a mile further west on Fairview Road. The new site is zoned to allow a fire station, although construction plans will need Greenwood Plan Commission approval. Plans call for a three-bay equipment building with living quarters for up to eight firefighters. Construction could be finished this year, White River Township Fire Chief Howard Bennis said. Greenwood Fire Chief Paul Kite voiced disappointment over the choice of the site. He said it is too close to Greenwood Station No. 2.  (Reprinted with permission from the Indianapolis Star)
