Smyrna will replace fire station

Smyrna Fire Station No. 2 at 642 Concord Road will be replaced, following a vote recently by the Smyrna City Council.

Lyman Davidson Dooley Inc. of Marietta will be paid $106,500 for architectural services.

The estimated construction budget for the shell is $2 million, not including geo-tech testing, civil engineering or landscape design services.

The new two-story building will comprise 13,500 square feet.

Funding will come from the 2016 penny sales tax.
