ROANOKE, Va. – Roanoke City Council decided the fate of Fire Station No. 7 on Monday afternoon.
The Council was posed with two options -- tear down and replace historic Fire Station No. 7, or keep the building. They chose to replace the fire station with a newer structure.
The City Council heard from the architecture and engineering team for nearly two hours on Monday afternoon, in addition to community members who wanted the nearly century-old station preserved and renovated.
