Site work and new construction of a fire / police facility in Charleston, South Carolina. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a fire / police facility; and for site work for a fire / police facility.

This project is for the design and construction of a new fire station on Johns Island at the corner of Maybank Highway and Wildts Battery Drive. This station is designed for approximately 14,000 SF and will be a 3-bay fire station for 2 companies of firefighters. This is a new fire station that will have completely new operating costs. One new ladder truck and one new pumper truck will be acquired using lease purchase funds. Due to the time it takes to build these vehicles they must be ordered in advance of completion of the facility. Additional fuel, utility and maintenance costs will be budgeted for after completion. Additional personnel (27 in total) costs will also be budgeted for in the years prior to completion in order for the personnel to be hired and trained in time for the facility to open. Personnel costs will also include required gear and personal protective equipment. The project is included in the city's 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of June 5, 2024, project is funded for FY2024-2027. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
