The Peru Fire Department will hold a public hearing on its proposed 2025 budget on Tuesday, October 15, from 7 to 8 p.m. The public will have the opportunity to ask questions. A copy of the proposed budget can be obtained at the Peru Town Hall between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. 

Note: The budget has changed slightly since it was printed. Total expenditures have not changed, but some money has been reallocated to enable the department to pay for planning and engineering for fire station expansion from its current fund balance rather than borrow the money.  Fire Commissioner Treasurer Robert Akey said the department is attempting to keep the project cost as low as possible.
