A contract for a construction manager is expected to be awarded soon, marking the project's progression. This new facility, which comes with an estimated budget of $24 million, aims to replace the existing fire station, which has served the community for several decades.
City officials emphasize the importance of this project, highlighting that the new fire station will not only improve operational efficiency but also provide a modern space for firefighters to train and respond to emergencies. The new design is expected to incorporate advanced technology and features that align with contemporary firefighting needs.
The construction manager will oversee the project's development, ensuring that it stays on schedule and within budget. With the contract award on the horizon, community members are eager to see the plans materialize and look forward to the positive impact this facility will have on public safety in West Bend.
