The Holly Springs City Council has informally signed off on a planned land-lease agreement with Cherokee County, under which the county would build a new fire station within the city limits.
Under the deal, the city would lease vacant land near the north entrance to the Harmony on the Lakes development to the county for 50 years for construction of Fire Station 3.
The new facility would replace what’s known as the Hickory Flat Volunteer Fire Station about a half-mile away. It was built as a volunteer facility decades ago and is now operated by the county. No exact timetable has been set for construction, but the county is working toward bidding the project out.
Final approval is expected at the next council meeting Jan. 22.
