Village of White Lake (WI) Hosting Ribbon Cutting for VFD Fire Station

WHITE LAKE, WI – The Village of White Lake, in partnership with MSA Professional Services, Inc., and Bayland Buildings, Inc. are excited to announce a ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place for the new build of the communities’ volunteer fire station, on Saturday, September 11, located at 1271 Lake Street, White Lake, WI 54491.

This ribbon cutting is a celebration of a new fire station for the Village of White Lake that replaces the Village’s former fire station, which suffered a collapsed roof during a large snowstorm event in March of 2019. The new structure is 10,000 SF, which is over twice the size of the former building that stood at 4,600 SF, built in 1996.

The $1.7 million project was funded with the assistance of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Public Facilities. MSA was contracted to help the Village with grant administration for the project and led the Village’s application efforts for the CDBG grant in May 2019. The Village received notice of the $1 million award in July 2019.

The Village of White Lake will be holding an official Grand opening for the community on Saturday, September 11th at 11:00am. There will be food, refreshments, and bucket raffles. All proceeds will go to the purchase of new equipment for the fire station.
