Port Huron (MI) city officials approved a $472,164 agreement with the Mount Clemens-based Partners in Architecture, PLC, to design a new fire station on park property along 10th Street, reports thetimesherald.com.

The agreement is part of a plan that aims to combine Port Huron’s central and south-end stations at White Park, as well as install minor renovations at its current north-end station, according to the report.

The stations are all in need of upgrades and repairs, including the central station, which was built in 1960 and has many structural deficiencies, the report says.

Officials say the cost of a new station is expected to be between $7 million and $10 million. The $472,164 for Partners in Architecture will come from the land purchase fund.
