Plant City (FL) Goes Green with New Fire Station

The station was originally estimated to cost around $319 per square foot, but was reduced to about $267 square foot at the 30% design phase. The price has dropped even more with design completion, coming in at around $262 per square foot for building construction, giving the total project a price tag of just over $3 million. "Not only are we getting a fire station that meets our needs, but we're building this on a very prominent location in one of the gateway streets of our city and that will be quite a statement for the traffic passing by," City Manager Bill McDaniel said.

This design incorporates many of the modern features and needs of our fire department."
