Deerfield
The Deerfield Township Trustees recently received the blueprints and engineering drawings for the addition to the township fire department.
“We’re going to submit the blueprints and engineering drawings to contractors for bids,” township Vice Chair Ed Dean said.
The addition will include two bathrooms, each with its own shower, and a big utility room with laundry facilities and a kitchenette area.
“It’s definitely going to get done,” Dean said, “but we still have to go before the Portage County Building Department to get the final approval. It’s just a matter of getting a few details worked out.”
