Meanwhile, Station 22 is moving to a spot on County Road 220 near Arena Road, meaning firefighters can get to emergencies quicker.
These projects are part of a $65 million push to boost public safety in Clay County.
The new Station 1 will be just off Brannan Mill Boulevard, north of Old Jennings Road.
Everyone’s invited to come celebrate at the new Station 1 site.
Clay County leaders say these upgrades show their commitment to keeping the community safe and improving emergency services for all residents.
