SHIPPENSBURG, Wednesday, July 13 – Local bank F&M Trust has pledged $50,000 to the Shippensburg Emergency Sevices Building Capital Campaign, a program which supports and collect donations for a new emergency services facility located on the corner of Orange Street and Walnut Bottom Road.
During the ground breaking ceremonies on June 30, F&M trust announced its five annual installment contribution, that will begin in 2012 and end in 2016.
The former University Budget lodge hotel site is perfect for the new building according to Kenneth Ditzler, F&M Trust marketing manager.”It’s a great location for emergency services. It has access to I-81,” he said. “It’s great for the community in Shippensburg.
The project, which was launched three years ago, is more than needed according to Megan Silverstrim, public information officer for Vigilant Hose.
Silverstrim said that the limited space at the current building on East King Street has been a problem.
“We have to get our fire trucks specially made for our (building),” she said.
Emergency and fire apparatus’ will be able to access the building through five doors, ambulances from three onto Orange Street and two for fire vehicles onto Walnut Bottom Road.
The 30,000 square foot facility will cost an estimated $7.2 million and will become the new home for Shippensburg’s Viligant Hose Company No. 1 and area Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Inc.
Grants and gifts collected by the capital campaign will pay the balance of the $6 million in financing that F&M Trust will provide for the project’s construction.
The two-story, T-shaped building will include a training center for area firefighters and EMS technicians, a dormitory for housing of on-site volunteers responding to emergencies 24 hours a day, a fire and emergency vehicles area, a fire museum, and administrative and executive offices.
