The Athens Clarke County Government is seeking input on revised site selection criteria for the relocation of Fire Station #5.
Site selection criteria guides the selection of potential locations for Fire Station #5. Currently, the fire station is located at Whit Davis Road and Cedar Shoals Drive and is being relocated in order to update the facility and serve a greater area.
A bid to decide the location of Fire Station #5 was rejected by the Mayor and Commission in November of 2023.
Athens Clarke County residents can share their thoughts at a drop-in public meeting on Thursday, March 28th at Fire Station #7, located at 2350 South Barnett Shoals Road, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. The county government is also seeking input through an online survey accessible at Fire & Emergency Services | Athens-Clarke County, GA - Official Website. The survey is open until April 7th.
About $6 million has been allocated through the county’s SPLOST fund for the relocation.
