Atlanta residents will soon get to vote on money to replace more four outdated Atlanta Fire Department stations.
On Monday, Mayor Atlanta Dickens toured Station 26 on Howell Mill Road, which has served northwest Atlanta since 1954.
“Atlantans will have the opportunity to vote for three bond referendums to make significant investments in our city’s infrastructure, transportation, recreation and our public safety infrastructure,” the mayor said. Dickens and Atlanta Fire Chief Roderick Smith walked through the facility, where plumbing is a problem. Bonds on the May 24th primary ballot include $58 million for the renovations.
“The City of Atlanta communities also have a duty to support the men and women of the Atlanta Fire and Rescue Department. Our administration has decided to put money where our mouth is,” Dickens said.
