The Featherstone Difference

Featherstone was engaged to work alongside Dewberry Architects during the Needs Assessment Study to build support for a public referendum and then on multiple conceptual design so the Fire District could understand the cost benefit of rebuilding the new fire station at their existing location, building at their existing training facility, or entering into an intergovernmental agreement with North Aurora to relocate entirely. The early partnership allowed the Fire District to make informed decisions and negotiate the best deal with North Aurora to relocate while continuing to serve the community.
