Additionally, the landscaping will utilize native plants and bioretention areas to reduce water use and maintenance requirements.

The new building will house the Village of McFarland’s police, fire, and EMS departments. The fire and EMS wing will include six apparatus bays and one antique firetruck bay. The police wing will include office space, a break room, and will serve as an emergency operations center. The building will also include three kitchens, a full-service residential kitchen, and living quarters.

In addition, the parking area will be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
