FREEHOLD BOROUGH, NJ — Borough Council members adopted a bond ordinance that will fund a $5 million firehouse relocation and other capital improvements in Freehold Borough. The bond ordinance was approved during the April 18 council meeting. According to the bond ordinance, $4.4 million of the $5 million appropriations will be used for three projects: one, the acquisition of property at Throckmorton and Broad streets for the relocation of the Freehold Fire Department headquarters from West Main Street; two, the construction of a new police and fire public safety facility; and three, the construction of a modern bus station. To help cover the expenses, the ordinance permits the issuance of up to $4.76 million in bonds or notes. The current firehouse is located at 51 W. Main St. An official timeline as to when the relocation will occur has not been announced. Thank you for reading! Have a news tip, correction or comment? Email [email protected].
