Mayor Richard David is launching the demolition of the DPW barn on Brandywine Avenue. The two-acre site has been vacant since 2005.

There has been early discussions of building a fire station at the site, which could mean the consolidation of several of the current City fire stations. Mayor David says there is no firm plan in place to consolidate any of the fire stations.
