Construction of the new Fire Station No. 2 in Pell City is proceeding on schedule, with the project currently at the halfway mark. The facility is expected to be completed by July 4, 2024, according to an update provided to the City Council by Blake Nelson, executive vice president of CMH Architects based in Birmingham.
The new fire station will cover approximately 16,000 square feet, designed to enhance the city’s emergency response capabilities. This significant addition to Pell City’s infrastructure aims to better serve the community’s growing needs.
During last week’s City Council meeting, Nelson detailed the progress of the construction, highlighting that the project remains within budget and on schedule. The new facility will include state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for firefighters, improving both operational efficiency and safety.
City officials have expressed their enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its importance in providing efficient fire services to the residents of Pell City. The construction of Fire Station No. 2 is not just an investment in infrastructure but also a commitment to the safety and well-being of the community.
As the completion date approaches, city leaders are planning a community event to celebrate the opening of the new station. This will allow residents to familiarize themselves with the new facility and meet the firefighters who will be serving them.
The construction of Fire Station No. 2 represents a significant step forward for Pell City, demonstrating a proactive approach to public safety and emergency preparedness. The city looks forward to unveiling this new hub of emergency response services in just a few months.
