Palmerton will build a brand new fire station at the original site it chose nearly two years ago.
Borough council, on a 6-0 vote Thursday, agreed to build a three-bay station in the borough lot at Fifth and Lehigh Avenue.
Prior to the vote, council President Terry Costenbader attempted to explain how council arrived at its decision.
"This has been a roller-coaster ride for a lot of people here on council," Costenbader said. "There's been a lot of ups and downs in our discussion with the fire company."
