Wake County and the Town of Garner are preparing to break ground on a new Public Safety Station Tuesday.
It comes after Garner’s Town Council unanimously approved the plans in September.
The estimated $10.2 million contract for the station was approved by the Wake County Board of Commissioners, officials stated.
The 16,816-square-foot facility will be built on the 7800 block of Caddy Road and will serve as a co-location of Garner Fire-Rescue, Town of Garner Police and Wake County EMS.
Officials said the building will include:
Four full apparatus bays;
Company day rooms;
Offices;
A conference room;
An exercise space;
A kitchen; and
Dining areas.
Tuesday’s groundbreaking is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the site location and will feature guest speakers from Wake County and the Town of Garner, according to a news release.
