YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio (AP) Comedian Dave Chappelle is set to buy a former fire station near his Ohio hometown with plans to turn it into a comedy club.
The Miami Twp. Fire Station in Yellow Springs, not far from Dayton, will be sold to the 47-year-old actor’s company and turned into a club that will seat 140 people, the Dayton Daily News reported. A member of the development corporation board who headed up the subcommittee on selling the fire station said the group wanted someone who would breathe life into the station.
“We think this will bring a new class of jobs to town,” Corrie Van Ausdal said. “We also considered that (Chappelle) is a minority business owner, he has a history of employing minorities and he is a person who has a clear commitment to amplifying voices of color.” The closing date for the sale is set for early 2021.
