Feasibility study for Fire Station No. 7 moves forward in League City

League City is making progress on its efforts to add two new fire stations to the city’s western side, starting with a feasibility study for Fire Station No. 7.

What you need to know

League City City Council, at its Feb. 11 meeting, voted unanimously to award a $24,000 feasibility study to BRW Architects to determine whether an area south of Muldoon Parkway on the city’s west side is suitable for building the city’s seventh fire station.

Officials have said they hope the new fire station will shave several minutes off the current 15-minute response time on the city’s western side, which remains undeveloped in many parts.

The project’s design phase is expected to cost $2.25 million and the construction phase is expected to cost $15.65 million, according to agenda documents.

Diving in deeper

The agreement with BRW Architects will begin Feb. 17, according to agenda documents.

Fire Station No. 7 will have three drive-through bays for an ambulance and fire engine, and a minimum of eight dormitory rooms for firefighters and EMS personnel, according to agenda documents.
