Future northside fire station site acquisition
Summary
The city is lining up land for a new fire station on the growing north side — about 3.5 acres at future Evergreen and Mead for $1 through an option agreement with the developer. The fire chief says this station plus Station 6 near North High School should cover the north side for decades.

Impact analysis
The land itself costs just $1, but building and staffing a new fire station will be a major future expense.
North side residents and future developments would get faster fire and emergency response.
