Penfor Construction of Blumenort has been awarded the tender for the design and management of the Blumenort fire hall.

The hall will be built off Penner Drive, south of Granny's. Penfor will charge a construction management fee worth ten percent of the cost of the project as well as $4,500 for structural engineering.

Hanover Reeve Stan Toews says they chose Penfor over the other four firms because they are local, but also because they came with the best bid.

The tender for construction has yet to be awarded but Toews is hopeful they can put shovel in the ground in spring. He says it is expected to take about six months to build.

Toews says the trucks have yet to be ordered, though they are working on preparing for tenders. Training the firefighters is ongoing.
