Fire crews from Central Mason Fire
and EMS moved into the renovated
Shelton fire department building more
than a year ago.
However, the building hasn't re-
ceived permanent signage yet.
The City of Shelton Commission
agreed Monday to accept a recommen-
dation from the Shelton Historic Pres-
ervation Commission that future sig-
nage on the building should say "Shel-
ton Fire Hall."
"We saved a building of historical
significance that's our fire station,
which used to be our city hall," city
Administrator Dave O'Leary said. "It
arguably should have some signage."
Originally, the historic preserva-
tion commission recommended that the
sign read, "Shelton City Hall," since the
building was once the city hall. Howev-
er, city and fire district staff members
were concerned that the sign would be
confusing.
O'Leary said city staff met with the
historic preservation commission and
came up with a compromise.
Historic commission chairman Tracy
Moore asked that the city commission
