Port Henry Approves New Fire Station

Port Henry just approved a brand-new $4.9 million fire station — set to rise where the old A&P grocery store once stood on State Route 9N. Sixty-seven percent of the cost comes from a federal USDA grant, leaving local taxpayers to cover the remaining $1.6 million. Homeowners can expect a modest fire tax hike — roughly $74 for every $100,000 of home value. The current 115-year-old station simply can’t meet today’s safety and operational standards. Construction kicks off next year, with the goal of opening the modern facility by 2028 — a major investment to keep Port Henry’s fire services strong, safe, and future-ready.
