New Fire Station 1 at 420 S. Broadway and $15 million borrowing
Summary
A $5 million HUD Community Project Funding award keeps the full three-story design of the new Broadway fire station on track — officials had considered shrinking or cutting a floor if costs came in high. The building will include individual dorms, a mother's room, health-and-safety improvements, and space for an aerial truck.
