The initiative to restore Montclair's historic firehouse into an arts center is gathering momentum, led by Nancy Lehrkind of The Grubb & Co. Since an initial report last October, many in the community have expressed interest and provided support, including donations and volunteer offers. The project has gained the endorsement of the Montclair Village Association, and the estimated cost is $420,000, contingent on securing a lease. The firehouse, a city landmark since 1980, has been closed since 1993 and is currently in disrepair.
This restoration plan has garnered significant community support, with 800 signatures on a petition aimed at reopening the historic Montclair firehouse as an arts center.
The Montclair Village Association endorses the Lehrkinds' plan, recognizing the firehouse’s potential to engage the community in cultural celebrations.
