Firefighters in Casa Grande are urging approval of a bond measure that would fund the building of new fire stations and the purchase of new equipment.
The upcoming ballot proposition includes $22M in general obligation bonds that would, among other items, build new Station 505 and rebuild stations 501 and 502.
Representatives of the local firefighters union said no new trucks have been added to the department’s inventory since 2010, despite a population growth of around 16,000 people.
Casa Grande intends to issue new bonds through 2028 with a tax rate capped at $1.50. If all the proposed requests are approved, the cost to homeowners would be $10.08/month/$100K of assessed home value. (Source)
