Over 50 people turned out for a September 27 open house at the Rochambeau Fire Station. Participants toured the decommissioned facility and posted their ideas for potential reuse of the station. The results of their input have been aggregated and are posted below. Further information about next steps will be forthcoming in the weeks and months to come.
