SOLON, Ohio – Renovation of the dormitory space at the city’s Fire Station 1 has been completed, Fire Chief Mark Vedder told City Council Monday (Feb. 1).
After three months of construction, firefighters have moved back into the dorm area, Vedder said.
The renovation was funded with money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The renovation was proposed due to the coronavirus pandemic and the potential spread of the virus through open spaces, the ordinance stated.
