Workers with Danson Construction are to be on site beginning Monday, Jan. 29, with completion of the project this fall.  

“Public safety is the most important thing that a municipality does,” said Mayor Linda Kavanagh. “This new station will assure citizens receive the best service from our fire department for years to come.”

In a previous interview with the Register, officials with Gainesville Fire-Rescue said Station No. 3’s facility at 115 E. Pecan St. is the oldest city-owned building still in use.  

The remaining balance will be used to construct a solid waste transfer station and fund street and utility maintenance projects, according to information provided by the city.

City Manager Barry Sullivan said he is not anticipating a tax increase because of the bond issue.
