Vernon Township Fire Station
For this development, a 12,500 SF building includes associated parking, fire truck access, and utility infrastructure. Two new entrance drives were designed along Vitality Drive; one on the south and one on the east, to provide ingress and egress for fire trucks from the building, as well as a drive to a parking area in the front of the building.
The existing pond was expanded in order to provide additional detention volume required to meet present day standards.

Comprehensive Plan
As part of its ongoing partnership with the city of North Vernon, HWC has worked with community, business, and city leaders to develop the last two comprehensive plans. The plans focused on major infrastructure improvements, investments in quality of life amenities, and economic development capitalizing on the nearby Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC). Collectively, these planning efforts spearheaded the construction of the U.S. 50 Bypass, North Vernon’s designation as a Stellar Community, and served as a key component for the South Central Indiana Talent Region READI Plan.
