(Monaca, PA) Officials welcomed a new fire department in Monaca Borough on Saturday during a groundbreaking ceremony. Thanks to a grant of $1.5 million being given on Friday, the brand-new facility will turn three former stations into one collective building. $2.3 million went towards the project, and Rep. Rob Matzie, County Commissioner Tony Amadio and Monaca Borough Manger Dave Kramer joined on Pacific Avenue to celebrate the achievement of the project. The 27,000 square-foot fire department will be used to store emergency vehicles, as well as for police, fire, and administrative needs. According to the Monaca Newsletter, the time when the building can be expected to open is in the fall of 2025.
