The Athens-Clarke County Unified Government invites residents to provide input on revised set of proposed site options for a relocated Fire Station #5 as part of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 2020 Project 6. The current Fire Station #5 is located at the corner of Whit Davis Road and Cedar Shoals Drive and was built in 1974.
Revised site selection criteria, approved by the Mayor & Commission in May, were used to select nine properties within the search area as potential spots for the new Fire Station #5.
Two drop-in public meetings are scheduled for residents to learn more about the project and provide feedback. The first is on Tuesday, September 24 at the ACC Tennis Center (4460 Lexington Road) from 5:00-7:00 PM and the second is on Thursday, September 26 at the Hilsman Middle School Media Center (870 Gaines School Road) from 5:00-7:00 PM.
Public input will also be accepted on the proposed sites with an online survey available on www.accgov.com/fire through Sunday, September 29. Approximately $6 million has been designated for the Fire Station #5 .
