These projects include construction of new fire stations, replacement of stations, and renovation of existing stations. The proposed capital improvement projects will improve emergency response coverage, enhance firefighter health and safety, and extend the useful life of existing infrastructure while allowing the County to strategically plan and phase investments over multiple fiscal years.
