Seventh fire station funding
Summary
After nearly 20 years of talk, the mayor is putting $5 million in LIT money on the table to build Carmel's seventh fire station — repurposing part of the water distribution building at Main and Shelbourne instead of building new. Firefighters could be hired by January 2028.
