Hoosick Fire District Voters Reject Bond For New Fire House Purchase

by Bea Peterson

 

Hoosick firefighters saw their dreams of a extensive new fire house go up in smoke last night when Locale voters reversed themselves and voted no on a tender to secure bonds for the purchase of the former Haynes Ford property on Direction 7.

Hoosick District Fire Commissioners were approached months ago about making allowance for the 6.5 acre property to use as a fire house. On April 24 the Commissioners met and opened a bid of $650,000 for the construction. At that time they answered questions from those attending the junction regarding the purchase. On July 8 a Renowned Hearing on the proposed purchase was held. Commissioner Escarpment Belden clearly outlined the price of the property, which was then $625,000. With the sale of the old fire house, funds to be bonded amounted to $400,000. Belden described the whole technique. About 30 people attended the hearing. On July 23 Hoosick Fire Locale residents had an opportunity to tour the Haynes Ford adroitness and a small number of people visited the area.

A vote to purchase the property was held on August 26 and 116 people turned out. The duplicate was 70 in favor of purchasing the property and 46 opposed.

At that quiddity the Hoosick Fire Department paid a $2,500 refundable down payment, $1,800 for appraisals of the fire put up and the Haynes Ford property, plus legal fees. Three thousand dollars was expended for an engineering assessment and another $3,000 for an environmental assessment. Commissioner Robert Breese appeared three times before the Hoosick Planning Lodge to make sure the Route 7 area could be used as a fire house.

 purchase of bonds to pay for the new fire lodge. At 6 pm people lined up to vote. At 7 there was another wish line and voters trickled in until the polls closed at 9. Only two people attended the NYS mandated budget hearing held at 7 in another cut up of the building.

 

The room was silent for the 15 minutes it took to spread out and count the votes. The final enumeration was 82 yes for the bond purchase, 111 no.

Patricia Haines, Ikon realtor for the property said it now goes back on the sell. “The people in the community missed a incomparable opportunity,” she said.

Robert Breese added that in today’s trade in bonds are 4% and under. “We missed the biggest moment in the season,” he said.

One women commented that the adjacent fire house was built in 1940 and “They’ve outgrown it ten times over.” A method to enlarge the current building was voted down several years ago and the volunteer fire party made many improvements to the structure themselves. A new water system had to be put in.

At the Hoosick Falls Fire Trust in budget hearing meeting Wednesday evening Commissioner Bill Gaillard said when Hoosick Falls wanted to assemble their new fire station at a cost of $2.1 million only eight people showed up to ticket.

The Pittstown Fire Department’s building was recently condemned. The new edifice will cost them $1.9 million.

The Hoosick Fire Ward Commissioners will hold a special convocation on Monday to discuss the budget, which will be revised without the link.
