The city is moving forward on plans to build four new fire stations, including one joint fire-police station. Recently the city purchased land at 4405 S. 84th St., a bit south of 84th and Pioneers, for one of the fire stations, at a cost of $675,000.
The city has also picked the construction company that will build the four stations. Hausmann Construction, a local company, was the top choice for the construction manager at-risk contract for the four stations by a selection committee created for the bid process. And Mayor Chris Beutler agreed with their recommendation, according to Rick Hoppe, chief of staff to Beutler.
