Fire Station #10 Update

Fire Station 10 evaluation report (view/download)

As we shared last week, our Fire Station on Gasparilla Way does not meet County Code and fire service requirements, so the County will be replacing it.  The original plan was to put the new building on the existing location. However, this site has significant challenges and the County is evaluating alternative locations. 
 
A big thank you to the Board of County Commissioners for postponing the vote on the new firehouse location from their meeting on February 26th to the next regular BOCC meeting on March 12th which allows an adequate public comment period.
 
The Fire Station 10 evaluation report outlining the original and two new site options has been uploaded to the PIE site. You may continue to follow the County’s progress at the Project Status Page on the Charlotte County Public Site. On this site, it is noted that the project is funded by the county-wide capital project fund, not through the MSBU contribution.  For further information and to submit comments, please email the project manager, Gary Burdahl, at [email protected].  Comments are welcomed and should be submitted by March 5th.
