Henry board approves fire station agreements
Construction of one fire station and a land purchase for another one were approved.
Two major expenditures involving fire stations were approved by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Nov. 7 regular meeting.
The board approved a budget amendment and awarded an emergency contract totaling approximately $4.2 million with J.R. Bowman Construction for the design and construction of a replacement for Fire Station #5, which was closed due to safety concerns and temporarily relocated to a hangar at the Atlanta Speedway Airport.
Also approved was the $350,000 purchase of 4.97 on Harold Drive in McDonough for the development of a new fire station. Both measures will be paid for with SPLOST funds.
