Four months after Spotsylvania County officials held a ribbon-cutting for a $4 million fire and rescue station in Four-Mile Fork, not one fire truck or ambulance has moved in.
Last year, county officials pulled the plug on Manning Construction, leaving a 35-page list of unfinished items--from caulking to the air conditioning and heat not working.
"What really surprises me more than anything else is it is basically the same punch list month after month after month," said Supervisor Benjamin Pitts. "Why has it taken four years to get to the stage we are at now?"

The story also contains the "punch list" of remaining problems. Not mentioned in the story is a requirement from the volunteer chiefs that a mold study be performed because of the amount of time the station was without a roof. |
