Forsyth approves park, fire station contracts
Both north and south Forsyth County will be equipped with new fire stations by the end of 2016. The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners late next week awarded a contract to build Fire Station 8 ff of Keith Bridge Road in north Forsyth, as well as Station 6 near Ga. 141 in the county’s southern portion.
Fire Division Chief Jason Shivers said Station 8 will replace an outmoded facility built by volunteers at the same site in the 1980s, while Station 6 will be a new facility that will go in at Caney and Brookwod roads, and will fill in a coverage gap in southeast Forsyth. There is no current station of that number.
D.A. Edwards and Company was awarded an approximately $5.6 million contract to construct both facilities.
Commissioners also awarded a construction contract for phase one of Lanierland Park to Reeves Young LLC for a maximum of $9.2 million.
