THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We would like to thank the citizens of Batesville for voting in the 1/8 cent sales tax this past November. We have received our Aerial Fire Truck and we are diligently seeking property at a good price to build a new fire station in West Batesville.

If you would like to see the new fire truck, please visit the Dogwood fire station. We would love to show it off.

Thanks again Batesville.
