Andover Ambulance prepares for new building

Press release from Andover Ambulance:

On Friday, October 13, the Andover Ambulance Corps hosted a groundbreaking event for the new 3-bay facility.  Local officials were invited to view plans for the new structure.  The Andover Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc. is in the process of beginning construction of a 60’ by  60’ building to house two ambulances.  The building will also have a meeting/training room, two offices, and a small kitchen. The property for the building, which is adjoining the Fire Hall, was given to the Ambulance Corps by Carl Atwell. The building project was started this spring when Kevin LaForge came with his equipment and donated the demolition of the old house, which was on the lot.  LaForge had previously donated the demolition and haul away on another house next to the property for the Andover Fire Department.  The house was hauled away and close to 30 loads of gravel fill was brought in.  Engineering for the project was done by Hager Engineering of Arkport. The drawings were given to several local contractors as well as two from out of the area.   The building committee has been reviewing and evaluating all the bids and hasn’t decided on a contractor yet.  Construction is slated to start this fall.
