La Crosse board reviews plan to sell old fire station on Monitor Street
La Crosse’s old fire station on Monitor Street is being put up for sale.
The city’s Board of Public Works reviewed a resolution Monday to seek offers for the surplus property.
“This’ll be advertised in the newspaper, and then also with a ‘for sale’ sign,” Andrea Trane, the city’s Director of Planning, Development and Assessment, told the board. “Then, the Board of Public Works will receive offers for that, after a certain period of time,” before providing a recommendation to the city council.
The old firehouse, serving La Crosse’s north side, was built in 1956.
It was replaced with a new station on La Crosse Street, near the UW-La Crosse campus, and opened last year.
City leaders plan to retain property near the old building, which could be used for a levee, along the La Crosse River.
