The Village of Westmont is set to enhance its emergency services with the planned upgrade of the Westmont Fire Department facility, a move that promises to improve care for residents while maintaining fiscal responsibility. During a recent government meeting, officials outlined that the costs associated with the new facility will be funded by a local sales tax set to take effect in July, ensuring there will be no impact on property taxes and no need for a referendum.

The fire department emphasized its commitment to providing top-notch care, stating that the upgrades are essential for equipping firefighters with the necessary tools for success. This initiative has seen collaboration from various village members to ensure the best possible outcome for the community.

The decision to upgrade the facility not only aims to enhance operational efficiency but also reflects a broader commitment to responsible financial management. As the project moves forward, residents can expect improved emergency services without additional tax burdens, marking a significant step in community safety and resource management.
