(LaPorte, IN) - There’s an offer to purchase the fire station on LaPorte’s east side.  

The Board of Works today received an offer for $375,000. The fire station will be torn down and some type of restaurant will go up on the one-acre parcel.  

Bert Cook, executive director of the LaPorte Economic Advancement Partnership, said some type of restaurant will go up on the one-acre parcel under purchase requirements established by the city. The offer will go before the city council for final approval next month. A new much larger fire station off E. Lincolnway is going up in its place.
