As you might recall several years ago we were told that the OLD Sandy High school was uninhabitable as there were too many problems, including environmental and It needed to be torn down and we needed to pass a bond measure to build a NEW Sandy High school. Today the old high school is now a Middle School that has been remodeled.

At the present time we are being told that the existing Fire Station cannot be remodeled and it needs to be relocated. Explain why!! We are told that the doors don’t lock in the “construction shed” when they answer a call or does ODOT wants to limit access to Highway 26.

YES we need a bond measure to remodel, not relocate. It could be done in phases and not affect the operations of the department.

The Fire Station is in its ideal location with direct access to Highway 26 with a traffic light already in place.


Let’s leave it there!
