Axtell Fire Station

The City of Axtell, located in Marshall County in northeastern Kansas, will demolish an existing building and construct a new fire station on this site. The project does not have an estimated monetary value as of January 1, 2003. The project is awaiting the engineering assessment. KAN STEP is an acronym for Kansas Small Town Environment Program that is funded through the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing. KAN STEP has successfully used "sweat equity" to help communities reduce costs of water system improvements and now, fire stations and community centers.

The Project Representatives at Axtell are Kevin Anderson and Gary Buessing; The Grant Administer is Donna Crawford of Governmental Assistance Services; the Architect is Donnie Marrs of DMA Architects, Salina. The Kansas Rural Water Association provides the Inspection Services and Technical Assistance.
