Plans for the new Fire Station No. 1 headquarters on West Newton Road (four bays, 20,7800 square feet) and Fire Station No. 3 near Carter Park (three bays, 13,506 square feet) got the commission's blessing. Construction starts July 23, 2026, and both should be done by September 2027.
Planning Commission - Jan 7, 2026
The city wants to build a new fire station on West Newton Road to replace the Court Street station and fill a service gap on the growing west side. Voters already passed a tax levy supporting it, and the rezoning is the first land-use step.
