New main fire station construction
Summary
The city locked in a contractor for its new main fire station at $3.99M, well under estimate, with the fire pool included. The design prioritizes firefighter safety with decon facilities and leaves an unfinished second floor for future expansion. Savings could help with police facility bonding math by December.
