FAQ’s:

  • There is some new buzz around the old Reeds/Callahan property in Key Center, can you clarify?
    • We can try to clarify-
    • This property, currently owned by the Fire Dept and in the process of being sold, is going through feasibility reviews by the agreed buyer. The buyer has proposed a new gas station and mini-mart for the site.
      • If you want to find information from the Fire Dept, some information is available at their site at HOME | Key Peninsula Fire
    • At the last Fire Department Town Hall, a group of local citizens asked the Fire Dept to consider selling to them instead to create a community center.
