Eagle Bend’s plans to build a new fire hall have moved one step closer to becoming a reality. At the county commissioner’s November 16 board meeting, they accepted the city’s offer to purchase the former highway department shop. An appraiser had set the value for the shop at $10,000 plus $200 in fees. The Eagle Bend City Council made a counter offer of $1500 and to be able to utilize the county’s demolition dump at no charge as the building had to be demolished. The commissioners approved.
