Milan Council explores new location for fire department
By Martha A. ChurchillFor The Monroe NewsThe Milan City Council recently discussed a proposal to purchase a little more than three acres of vacant property north of the CVS Pharmacy to build a new regional fire department. The Milan Area Fire Department includes the City of Milan, Milan Township, part of London Township and part of York Township.
