Canfield to fire levy designated for new fire station

CANFIELD

The Cardinal Joint Fire District is asking Canfield voters to approve a levy to operate a proposed new fire station.

That station would be in the northwest corner of the fire district’s coverage area, both Canfield City and Canfield Township, on Herbert Road next to the township’s athletic fields. The fire district has the funds to build the new station, but will not build it unless the funding is secured to be able to operate the building, CJFD Fire Chief Don Hutchison explained.

The permanent levy is 1.25-mills and would generate $627,854 annually. It would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $43.75 per year.
