Construction on a new, $3 million fire station in Charlotte’s is finished and ready for use.
According to excerpts from the article:
On Wednesday, Dec. 10 city officials and those involved with the project will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 17,000-square-foot station on Shepherd Street.
Charlotte Fire Chief Kevin Fullerton said fire fighters by then should be working out of the building. This past week his department had already spent some time moving items into the station and preparing to function in sync with the existing downtown station. Both buildings will be manned 24 hours a day.
Connecting the two stations will be a fiber-optic cable that will link phones and computers. It has yet to be installed but should be in place by Wednesday. City officials are also awaiting the final inspection by Charlotte's building inspector before operations can begin at the new building.
