Florissant, MO – The City of Florissant recently recognized the contributions of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 58, the Electrical Connection, IBEW Local 1/St. Louis Chapter NECA and union contractors in renovating an unfinished and unsightly townhome development for use as a first responders training facility.

Five unfinished and long vacant Fleurissant Parc Place townhomes were renovated last month to be used by first responders to develop and enhance public safety skills. The Florissant Valley Fire Protection District, the Black Jack Fire Protection District and Florissant Police Department will use the formerly derelict structure to train for real-life emergencies.
