The next step is taken towards College Station getting its seventh fire station.
The city council at its January 25th meeting awarded a design contract that capital projects director Jennifer Cain and city manager Bryan Woods says will mirror, but not duplicate, a fire station in the Houston suburb of Cypress.
Woods says based on the rough construction cost of $18 million dollars, designing a new building would be nearly $2o million dollars. The design cost of modifying an existing plan that was approved by the council was $952,000 dollars.
