A new fire station is planned on city-owned property at 316 Broadway Street in the Five Points neighborhood.
The City of Asheville will share project updates and the results of a recently conducted visual preference survey during a community meeting at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, June 26 at Greater Works Church, located at 25 Forsythe Street.
The community is invited to attend to learn more about the project and meet the architect. Results of the visual preference survey will be shared along with updates on the project.
AFD identified the need for an additional fire station north of downtown to meet its goals for the standard of coverage. AFD’s performance objective is to reach all emergencies in 5 minutes 12 seconds or less, 90% of the time. The city purchased the property on Broadway Street in 2010 and funds have been approved by council to begin design and construction of Fire Station 13.
