New Berlin breaking ground for new firehouse and community center
A community forum held last year in Summer of 2019 where New Berlin officials, project engineers and volunteer firemen made a presentation on why they need a new firehouse, and how they intend to spend the donations and move to go forward with the project. The groundbreaking for the project is this week. (Tyler Murphy photo)
NEW BERLIN – The Village of New Berlin is hosting a private groundbreaking ceremony for the new firehouse and Chobani Community Center on Tuesday, October 20.
The event is not open to the public due to state COVID restrictions, but the new building is for the public and the New Berlin community.
The project was first announced in 2019 and is supported by a mix of corporate donations from local employers as well as support from the State of New York, collectively providing nearly $1 million to help fund the construction effort. The structure will replace the existing firehouse nearby that was built in 1971.
