A groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday, June 20, at the New Glarus Fire Department to recognize the start of construction of an addition to its station.
The department began raising funds for the addition in 2013, and have collected nearly $400,000 of their $500,000 goal. The funds are set to be used for new training spaces - including two training bays, a classroom and fitness center - sleeping quarters and handicap accessible restrooms.
