As for increasing taxes, this is not that expensive of a building from what they described. I also talked to one of the members about this because I had lots of questions at first also. He said they were putting everything they could into it to make it more efficient to save on utilities and such. They are going to be using in floor heating, high efficiency lights, things like that.
Take the cost increases for some of the "high efficiency" items and see if pay back is reasonable. One opinion I have is stay away from solar panels. Payback takes decades in some cases.

Universal Steel Buildings has contracted to supply and erect an Olympia Steel Buildings pre-engineered steel building to house a new fire hall for the Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Company in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Construction of the steel building is to begin on January 19, 2011. The new fire station will be approximately 9,000 sq. ft. and contain garage space for fire trucks and fire fighting equipment, offices, training and meeting rooms, two bunkrooms, a lounge and kitchen, a fitness facility and other amenities.
“We supply and erect Olympia Steel Buildings metal building systems in every US State, in Canada and all over the world,” states Arnold Davis, president of Universal Steel Buildings, “and we have many overseas projects in such places as Turkey, Russia, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. However, there is great satisfaction in making a difference in our local community. The new Olympia Steel Buildings fire hall will continue to serve the community well, as had the original building built in the 1950’s. It is our opportunity to make a difference in our local community.”

“The new fire station will be a ‘Green’ building,” added Davis. “Not only are pre-engineered steel buildings inherently Green – state-of-the-art steel buildings are energy efficient and offer innovative building designs that can help qualify for LEED - we are also using crushed concrete from the old building as a base for construction of the new pre-engineered steel building.”
