NANTUCKET PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING PLANS

Nantucket Fire Headquarters
For years Nantucket has not been able to store all of its apparatus
inside the fire station. The Nantucket Police department has
been working out of the older Nantucket fire house and has
been busting at the seams. A new public safety facility that
would house the fire, police, and sheriff's departments was to
be built at 2 Fairgrounds Road. Plans and funding were
approved at town meeting, but voters rejected the Prop 2-1/2
override, so the project is on hold for now.
Follow the story...
 
Voters Reject Override - No Funding!
