The NWItimes.com has an article about a federal loan for a new fire station in Gary

A $6 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will finance some much-needed projects in Gary. The federal funds will pay for the rehabilitation of the Hudson Campbell Fitness Center downtown, renovation of the auditorium and athletic facilities at West Side High School, and the construction of a new fire station in the University Park area.

Gary’s Station 5 used to be based at 4101 Washington Ave. in the University Park neighborhood, but it has been a “homeless” firehouse since 2012, when a contractor found asbestos. The station has since bounced around to different locations in Merrillville and Calumet Township.
