The City of Fayetteville will be holding a grand-opening celebration Friday, Aug. 5 for a new fire station located on School Avenue.
The event will take place at Fayetteville Fire Station No. 9, located at 2250 S. School Ave at 8 a.m. with Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan and Fire Chief Brad Hardin set to speak.
The new station comes as part of an infrastructure bond program approved by Fayetteville voters as one of 10 separate questions during a special election held in April 2019.
According to a City press release, Phase 1 of this bond project will provide two of the planned three additional fire stations, as well as apparatus to support ongoing growth for fire and emergency response. The new facilities will be staffed with existing personnel and fire companies.
