The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night approved a 50-year land-lease agreement with the city of Holly Springs enabling the county to build a new fire station within its city limits.
The deal involves replacement/relocation of current county Fire Station No. 3, which is about one-half mile from the new site that’s near the north entrance to the Harmony on the Lakes development. It was built as a volunteer facility decades ago and is now considered outmoded. County officials said the new station is in better proximity to hospital and medical facilities.
In a related item, commissioners approved a $189,000 contract with architectural firm Wiley/Wilson for master planning and architectural services covering both the new Holly Springs fire station and another planned in Ball Ground.
