Officials say current headquarters needs major work; combined HQ option would add $6.5–$7M to project
Summary
Officials discussed the territory’s aging headquarters and training facility. Alcorn said modernizing the current headquarters would cost about $6 million, while building a combined headquarters with Station 134 might add $6.5–$7 million to the project — options remain under study.
Council members raised the condition of the fire territory’s existing headquarters and training facility during the session. Chief Alcorn said architects estimated about $6 million to modernize the current headquarters building but that the building is larger and more inefficient than current needs.
Alcorn and others discussed whether to pursue a consolidated site combining Station 134 with headquarters and training grounds. He said adding a headquarters to the proposed station site would increase costs by roughly $6.5–$7 million depending on required square footage, but that site constraints and neighbors’ tolerance for live‑fire training are complicating factors for relocation. The chief said the territory will evaluate options and report back to the joint group.
