(HAGERSTOWN, MD — August 24, 2010) As part of its regular meeting on August 24th, the Washington County Board of County Commissioners took part in ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the new $2.4 million Firefighting facility at Hagerstown Regional Airport.
Maryland Secretary of Transportation Beverly Swaim-Staley lauded efforts of the County and Airport in building the station, which will house airport crash and fire suppression vehicles properly. Construction of the facility, funded through 95% federal, 2.5% state and 2.5% County funds began in September 2009 and was completed one month ahead of schedule.
Commissioners’ President John Barr said the fire station, housing company 35, will serve to provide increased protection for the safety of passengers and airfield businesses alike.
