NEW BERLIN, N.Y. — The new firehouse in the village of New Berlin and adjacent Chobani Community Center recently formally opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This project was first announced in 2019 and was supported by a mix of corporate donations from local employers as well as support from New York State, collectively providing nearly $1 million to help fund the construction effort. The new firehouse replaces the town’s firehouse nearby that was built in 1971.
The new 7,000-square-foot firehouse includes six garage bays, offices, and separate rooms for gear, meetings, training, and storage. The 2,400-square-foot community center contains a kitchen area and large gathering space so that the fire department, as well as local residents and businesses, can host events, according to a Chobani news release.
“The new firehouse is a symbol of collaboration and partnership between the public and private sectors for the safety of New Berlin and its residents,” the release stated.
