Problems with the density of the on Main Street site soil has created delays in construction of a new Marion fire station.
The project is currently about two months behind schedule, largely due to an issue with the ground, which passed a compaction test last summer, but failed a more recent study of the soil.
Contractors will start working to improve the soil density this week.
Construction on the station should begin next week if the soil correction measures work, City Administrator Mark Bryant said.
