Springfield To Break Ground On $8.1 Million Fire Station

Springfield is preparing to expand its fire protection services with construction of a third fire station, an $8.1 million project designed to serve the city’s growing population.

The city will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Monday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m. at 2663 South Main Street.

The new Station 3 will be approximately 9,000 square feet and feature two fire apparatus bays, living quarters, administrative offices and dedicated training and support areas. Its location along South Main Street is intended to expand fire protection coverage and improve the department’s ability to respond to calls involving homes and businesses.

Brentwood-based American Constructors, Inc. will oversee construction as the general contractor. TMP, based in Franklin, is serving as the project’s architect.
