Pottawatomie County officials took the first step Monday toward a possible remodel or replacement of the Emmett Fire Station.
Fire Chief Jared Barnes presented a scope of work needing to be done on the building which is pretty extensive. He says a building inspector has determined that the bones of the building are still workable with a potential remodel.
“One thing he did mention was the walls. We haven’t looked at the walls but do know that on one south wall we did have some termite damage. The building’s got quite a bit of age and definitely needs something done,” he said.

Evergy moving away from coal, but health advocates say too slowly

Evergy, an electric supplier to about 600,000 customers in western Missouri, says it will retire its coal power plant in Lawrence, Kansas, by the end of 2023.
The utility, which serves Eastern Jackson County outside Independence, revealed its plan to regulators in a filing with the Missouri Public Service Commission. The “integrated resource plan” lays out Evergy’s next few years in capital expenses and pledges to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2045.
To that end, the company says it will retire “nearly all” of its remaining coal generation by 2040.
