Where some see an old fire station, Joanne McKenna sees a new art gallery.
The Ward 1 councillor wants to transform the former Beachmont fire station on Winthrop Avenue into artists’ lofts and an art gallery.
McKenna said the building is currently being used as a storage facility for the Revere Fire Department.
“The Beachmont fire station is the oldest fire station in the city,” noted McKenna during Monday’s City Council meeting. “It’s an historical building, one the Beachmont community and the City would like to keep since we’ve lost so many landmarks.”
McKenna said the exterior condition of the building “is in disarray.”
The City Council unanimously approved a loan order in the amount of $5.875 million for Fiscal Year 2021 Capital Improvements.
Viscay said the funds would be used for “deferred maintenance” and equipment operations by city departments.
He asked the Council to approve a bond that would accelerate the purchase of one additional fire pumper truck and one city-owned trash truck among other capital improvements.
“Rates are historically low right now,” said Viscay. “We feel it is a good decision for the city to bump up a couple of these pieces of equipment and sell one bond for the entire amount to fully execute the 2021 Capital Improvement Plan and Budget.”
