A question for a one cent sales tax will be on the Nov. 2 ballot for Andover voters. The sales tax will sunset in no later than eight years. The proceeds of the sales tax will pay for the purchase of a second fire station, a remodel of the existing fire station, and a complete teardown and renovation of the 13th Street Sports Park. A fire station south of US54 is important as the city continues to grow and especially as the expansion of US54 comes nearer, the city said in a release. The park reconstruction will add an additional baseball/softball diamond and provide lighting for all five diamonds. It will also move and properly grade the playing fields – aiming to reduce the need for game cancellations.
