The new Lakeview Fire Department will be an all steel structure that will be 80' x 150' and will be located at 540 North Main Street in Lakeview beside the Electric Storage Building. There will be four drive-thru bays and one single bay. The engineer for the project is Mike Heintz of Heintz Engineering. The project bid opening was held in January and the project was awarded to general contract Robinson Building Solutions in Bellefontaine, Ohio for $876,960.00. The village received ten bids. The project will be financed through Osgood State Bank here in Lakeview and will be paid for with .5% income tax money that was voted on in the last election held in November, 2015. The building will not only house the trucks but have offices, a communication room, a fitness room, and a meeting/training room. The entire project is expected to be completed by November, 2016.
