The details
The groundbreaking ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Nov. 19, according to a news release from the city. When built, the station will help serve residents on the east side of Celina.
Crossland Construction will build the new station for about $11.4 million. Council approved a contract with Crossland for the construction of the facility at a meeting Oct. 14.
The company was already set to build the station, but council approved an amended contract in October because the price tag of the build increased from $9 million to $11.4 million. The increase in price came after added features were recommended by Celina Fire Chief Shawn White.
The specifics
The station will be about 15,725 square feet and sit on a 2-acre plot of land within the city’s emergency services campus. The emergency services campus is also home to the Celina Police Department Headquarters.
When completed, the fire station will include:
- Three bays for fire trucks
- A training tower
- Individual dorms
Fire Station No. 4 cost about $815,000 to design.
