The new station was built on Godfrey Road. The project was approved back in June when the Morgan County Board of Commissioners voted for a $508,985 construction bid from Sunbelt Builders, Inc. a Covington-based company that submitted the lowest bid for the job.
The BOC passed the bid in a 3-to-1 vote with Commissioner Philip Von Hanstein voting against the bid. The new station is 3,400 square-feet, replete with three engine bays for fire trucks and a fully finished day room. The county provided in-house the new station’s septic system, well, painting, kitchen cabinets and counters, and concrete.
