Muscatine’s new fire station is going green.
The new station should open towards the end of July. Those involved in the project are hoping that the building will receive Silver LEED Certification.
Some of the building’s green features include bike racks, concrete surfaces that reflect sunlight and heated floors.
Additionally, the fire station’s new location should significantly improve response times.

I am originally from outside of Chicago, but I have spent the last five years in Iowa pursuing my education. From 2006-2010 I attended Grinnell College, where I received a B.A. in English. Currently, I am a graduate student in the University of Iowa's journalism department.
In addition to my work for CGRER, I write for the non-profit investigative reporting organization Iowa Watch. Previously, I worked as a freelance writer, primarily contributing to Hoopla (The Gazette's arts and culture publication), and I assistant coached the Grinnell College cross country and track teams for a year.
My interests include writing, running, watching the Chicago Bulls, and . . . environmental news!
