Council approves Fire Station No.2 plan and to name it for Director Craig Ford
Summary
Jonesborough approved plans for a new auxiliary Fire Station No.2 at Persimmon Ridge and agreed to name the facility in honor of Director Craig Ford as part of the motion.
Council approved the floor plan for a new auxiliary Fire Station No.2 intended to improve mutual aid response on the west end of town and to serve as a flexible facility with 14–16-foot door clearances and post-steel construction. The project uses county participation funding tied to the town's role in the county fire service.
During the motion, the chair requested that approval include naming the building for Director Craig Ford in recognition of his more than four decades of public safety service; the motion was seconded and adopted on roll call. The chair also asked council members to help with long-term stewardship of the named facility once it is built.
