Reape Gouverneur Volunteer Rescue Squad members have been dreaming of this day, the day they can fi- nally show local residents how they envision the new squad headquarters build- ing. Squad President Jimmy Jackson received the architectural renderings of the proposed building from their architects, Sear-Brown Group, Can- ton, just yesterday morn- ing. Now the squad can kick off its major building fund drive to help pay for the new facility. The rescue squad was awarded a $140,000 loan from Jefferson National Bank, but an additional $60 to $75 thousand will be needed to pay the bal- ance. Mr. Jackson said the members sat down with Sear-Brown last week and okayed the final design plans for the new build- ing. Bid specs have been advertised, with propos- als to be returned by Nov. 7. The squad hopes to award a contract by Nov. 15, hopefully in time fora ground breaking by the end of November. The project completion schedule \will be deter- mined by the weather: how much snow and cold we get, especially the cold,\ Mr. Jackson said. \If they can get the foun- dation and footers in by the end of November we will probably be okay.\ The timing of the build- ing startup was later than the squad had hoped for, Mr. Jackson said, but \we know the building will be built.\ He said the squad had hoped the building would be completed by the end of December, but he said members are happy to know that they will not have to endure an entire winter in what members described as unbearable conditions for the past few- years. \We were kind of wish- ing it had started earlier because we wanted to be in the building by the end of December, but now we're sure it will be built. It may not be before the real cold weather starts, but at least we know we won't have to wait until next summer,\ he said. Mr. Jackson said the squad had expected to approve the final building plans earlier this month, but the architects came back with a slightly dif- ferent version of the floor plan that the membership liked better than the origi- nal plans, and a few extra days were needed to make the necessary changes. The new plan provides less square footage than thefirstplan:5,456sq. ft., versus 6,132, which will result in less \personnel space,\ but Mr. Jackson said the new plan makes better use of space, elimi- nating an u odd configura- tion.\ \It used to be a 'cross' See Rescue pg. 6 AN ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING of the proposed new headquarters Jor the Gouverneur Volunteer Rescue Squad MEMBERS OFTHE NEWLY-FORMED Gouverneur Volunteer Rescue Squad are, first row from left, Peggy Bates, vice president; Diane \Taffy\ Lamb, president; Ronald Lamb; Richard Seaman, and Charlotte Seaman, secretary.
