Goochland updates Station 8 construction; substantial completion targeted May 2027
Summary
County general-services director Scott Foster reported construction milestones for the new Station 8 in Sandy Hook, including March notice to proceed, permit issuance and foundation completion; substantial completion remains scheduled for May 10, 2027.
Scott Foster, director of general services, gave the board a progress update on Fire Station 8 in Sandy Hook, describing design choices and construction milestones.
Foster said notice to proceed was issued March 4, the building permit issued March 10, the ceremonial groundbreaking was April 7, and footings and foundations were completed in May. The first slab pour began in early June; the CMU block work had reached final height and structural steel and trusses were underway. Foster said the project remains on schedule for substantial completion on May 10, 2027. He described durable construction choices (CMU rather than sheetrock and polished concrete floors) intended to provide a long service life and lower future maintenance costs.
Chief (responding after Foster) noted the three drive-through-bay layout is the county standard and provides room for future needs while acknowledging staff-level constraints on simultaneous staffing of multiple large apparatus. Board members praised the design and asked follow-ups about expansion capacity.
