Plymouth Mayor Jeff Wosje recently spoke with CCX Media’s Dave Kiser about the city’s new fire station, as well as upcoming performances at the Hilde Performance Center.

New fire station 2

Earlier this month, the city held a hose disconnecting ceremony (think ribbon cutting) at the new Fire Station 2.

The rebuilt station (on the same location) now offers the opportunity for firefighters to stay overnight during 12-hour shifts.

“The previous fire station was never designed to have people there 24/7,” explains Mayor Wosje. “It was fifty to sixty years old anyway, so it had already reached its lifespan, so we just scraped it and rebuilt a new one.”

Hilde Summer performances

Wosje also talked about upcoming performances at the city’s amphitheater, the Hilde Performance Center.

Live at the Hilde is provided by a private promoter and will showcase two major acts on Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27.

Dawes, with Ber, performs on Friday evening, followed by Big Head Todd and the Monsters the following evening.

“That weekend is a big music weekend for Plymouth,” said Wosje.

More information about the shows can be found here.

The city also organizes free concerts in the Hilde, as part of the Hilde Nights series.
