ROCHESTER - Rochester City Manager Blaine Cox said the city of Rochester is contemplating building a third city fire station in East Rochester, but said "at this time there are no immediate plans" to do so.
He said the City Council OK'd city officials to negotiate for a possible purchase and a purchase and sale agreement has been signed by the city and owner of the land.
During a Special Meeting on June 21 Mayor Paul Callaghan brought forward a resolution for a supplemental appropriation of $299,000 for the purchase of 181 Highland Ave, a 6.46-acre parcel located to the north of Route 202 near the intersection of Highland and Eastern avenues. The parcel includes 635 feet of road frontage along Route 202.
Rochester City Manager Blaine Cox told The Voice on Monday that the city has been eyeing available property in East Rochester for a long time.
"The Fire Department has indicated for many years that a third fire station should be located in East Rochester," Cox said on Monday. "We have been simply keeping a watch out for suitable parcels, and this one is ideally located."
While Cox stated there has been longterm interest in a third stationhouse, there are "no prelim plans, no square footages, no type of building, no estimates of costs, no staffing projections, no vehicle numbers or types."
The purchase of the land using funds from the suddenly controversial unassigned fund balance will now go to public hearing scheduled for July 5.
