It is expected to finish by early 2027, according to a Cheniere spokesperson.Taft VFD’s original office and fire station sustained significant damage during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and was eventually demolished, the Taft Volunteer Fire Department wrote in a Nov. 11 Facebook post. A new exterior shell was constructed in 2022, though the department said its firefighters have operated since then without dedicated interior office space, restrooms, a conference room or a kitchen area.Over the past several months, the department said its members coordinated scheduling, planning and logistics for the interior build-out. Cheniere donated construction workers and $10,000 to help cover funding for the effort."We are extremely grateful to Cheniere for stepping forward to champion this project and generously volunteering their time, resources and efforts to help transform our unfinished building into a functional space for our firefighters," the department wrote in the post.In the post, the officers and members of the Taft Volunteer Fire Department extended appreciation to Cheniere and others involved in the project."For our members, this project represents much more than walls, offices and meeting spaces," the department said. "It represents a long-awaited return to normalcy, a place to gather, train, collaborate, and continue serving our community after nearly a decade of operating without these essential facilities."</div></body>
