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.

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.
