The new 14,900-square-foot fire station will include three apparatus bays, one EMS bay, one antique apparatus display bay with public art, a kitchen, dining and living areas, dormitories, offices, an exercise room, laundry rooms and associated site and utilities work. Project construction is anticipated to begin April 2016 and is estimated to be completed by April 2017.
