In Fiscal Year 2022, City council approved funding for the purchase of the property located at 3315 W. Ashlan, Fresno, California, as the future site of Fire Station 12. In the same year, the council approved a consultant contract with the Taylor Group for building design. The consultant has completed their work and Construction Management is prepared to move to the demolition phase of the property, which is estimated to be $416,200.
For Fiscal Year 2023, $3,458,000 was appropriated for the Station 12 project into a debt service fund for anticipated financing. To proceed with the demolition phase of the project, it is necessary to transfer $420,000 of the $3,458,000 appropriation into the Station 12 Construction Fund.
