Fire-Rescue Building Committee · Meeting of March 2, 2026
ORLEANS — Fire-Rescue committee leans toward two-story design for new fire station. The committee reviewed two proposals from project manager Rick Pomroy (Pomroy Associates) and architect Ted Galante (TGAS) for the new Fire Rescue Station on Eldridge Parkway, with consensus favoring a two-story option at an estimated $47 million hard cost and 14-16 month construction timeline compared to a three-story alternative at $61 million and 16-18 months. Fire Chief Geof Deering emphasized operational advantages to the two-story design, which consolidates equipment and living quarters on one floor.
