Demolition of 20th and Main fire station on city agenda

Posted May 15, 2023 10:20 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will have specifics on the demolition of the 20th and Main fire station on the consent agenda for approval on Tuesday. 

There was some initial discussion of leaving the station intact and using it for other purposes for the fair, but it turned out that making it useful for those purposes wasn't going to work, so the agreement to be ratified by the council says that the structures are to be demolished, the concrete pad is to be removed and the area where the building was be returned to grass.

The fair does want to keep the driveway approaches, apron area and roadway as much as possible. The gas and water lines servicing the 20th and Main location will be capped. The fair also wants to keep the existing fence line.

The Hutchinson City Council meets Tuesday at 9 a.m. at City Hall.
