Exciting updates on the South Fire Station location - new site.

We are moving closer to closing on a South end Palmetto Bay Fire Station!

I had a very productive meeting today at Village Hall.  I continue to work hard to close on the efforts started back in the earliest days of Palmetto Bay. ‪#‎TeamPalmettoBay‬.

Thank you Mayor Carlos Gimenez, County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava and the hard working reps of MDFR. Working together will result in increased life safety service in the Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay & Cutler Bay areas.

The map shared with me today on the proposed new location for the fire station in the southeast region of our Village. This location is situated on the west side of Old Cutler Road directly North of SW 184th Street. They are in the process of selecting an appraisal firm to continue negotiations to purchase the property. With this location we will have complete coverage of the entire Village within the guidelines established by the fire department for acceptable response times.

Here are the maps shared with the village council earlier today:

Update on the north station:  Additionally, MDFR has indicated that the temporary trailers for the station on Old Cutler Road and SW 142 street should be delivered to the site within one week.
