2. When is District 2 getting a new Fire-Rescue Station?

The County is currently seeking an appropriately-located parcel on which to build a District 2 fire station. The District 2 fire station is included in the county's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and the county is already in the land acquisition stage for it.

3. Why is the County building a West Creek Fire Station ahead of a District 2 Fire Station?

Given the significant amount of residential and commercial development in the eastern end of the county, there is a greater life-safety need for the West Creek Fire-Rescue Station at this time. The county’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) reflects anticipated construction of the West Creek station in approximately 5 years. The District 2 Fire-Rescue Station is already in the land acquisition and planning stages.

4. How much is the new Fire-Rescue Station expected to cost?

While there is not yet an estimated cost for the new Fire-Rescue Station, up to $8 million is the amount of the borrowing the County is associating with the construction and equipping of the new Fire-Rescue Station which is expected to be similar in size to the Company 6 Fire-Rescue Station.
