Council convened to break ground on the site where the Creston Emergency Services Building (CESB) is expected to have more activity by May 3rd.
“I really appreciate that we were able to do this today,” said Mayor Ron Toyota. “It’s historic for us because it has taken several years. I think this is the beginning and hopefully, it won’t be too long before the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

The cost for the new fire hall is estimated to be $1 million less than originally budgeted, but city administration says that can change very quickly.
City council was presented with the cost of work on the Fire Hall #1 replacement which puts it at just over $7.1 million. The city has budgeted $8.5 million for the project.
Senior Capital Infrastructure Manager James Rogers says costs can still go up on the project as they still need to secure materials and services which could come in higher than expected. It was noted that the cost of construction materials like steel has skyrocket during the pandemic which could push the actual cost up to near the budgeted amount.
