Granby to finalize design for new EMS station addressing risk management concerns

The Grand County Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 1, 2025, highlighted significant progress in the construction of a new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station, a development that promises to enhance safety and efficiency for local responders. The new facility, located outside of downtown Granby, is nearing completion with the design phase reported to be 97% finished. This relocation aims to improve access and reduce risks associated with high traffic in the current downtown area.

Commissioners discussed the importance of integrating risk management into the construction process. By addressing potential drainage issues early on, the county aims to prevent future problems related to ice formation and water management, which could lead to injuries and increased costs. The project manager emphasized the collaborative effort with architects to ensure that all aspects of water management are thoroughly considered.

In addition to the EMS station update, the meeting included a reminder for attendees about a final design presentation scheduled for later in the day. This session is open to community members, reflecting the county's commitment to transparency and public involvement in local projects.

As the county moves forward with this essential infrastructure, residents can expect improved emergency response capabilities, ultimately contributing to the overall safety and well-being of the community. The commissioners expressed gratitude for the ongoing support and collaboration among various stakeholders, reinforcing their goal of proactive governance that prioritizes public safety and resource management.
