The 15,561-square-foot public safety and emergency response facility will feature offices and living quarters for the city’s fire department. The facility will be a single-story structure with an attached two-story apparatus bay.  

The new station, designed by Redstone Architects of Bloomfield Hills, will be under the construction management of Auch Construction of Pontiac.

″(The station) has been designed to get first responders to their apparatus and on to their response route as quickly as possible in a faster and safer way,” the city said in a news release. “The new, improved building will serve more staff, utilize more equipment and respond to emergencies more efficiently.”
