City of Greensboro issued the following announcement on Oct. 17.
The first General Business Agenda items during the October 18 City Council meeting was a resolution for the renovation of Fire Station 14, located at 3633 Summit Ave. Council approved this item, which will renovate the 1971 station that serves the District 2 areas of Rankin, Martin, and Chapel Ridge, and will include upgrades to the station’s existing bays accommodating for newer, heavier trucks, higher bay doors, sleeping quarters, kitchen and dining areas, and training rooms. Work is expected to be completed in fall 2023 with a budget of $3.5M for the project. After a qualified design build team is selected, the City will negotiate a cost to fit the budget.
A contract in the amount of $8,855,208 was approved for the construction of a new water booster station on Four Farms Road and the demolition of an existing water booster station on Jessup Grove Road. The work also includes various process and site improvements at the existing water booster stations on Regional Road, McConnell Road, and US Highway 70. Another contract for $2,270,500 was approved for the design of a new equipment services garage. The current light and medium duty section was built in 1963 and the new garage is needed to accommodate the increase in fleet, future growth, and adequate space for parts and administrative staff.
The City’s Land Development Ordinance was unanimously approved to amend the distance required for public hearings to be mailed to land owners, abutting property owners, and those located within a certain distance from a parcel to be rezoned from 500 feet to 750 feet. This is to educate the applicant and the neighborhood about each other’s interests, to attempt to resolve issues in a manner that respects those interests and to identify unresolved issues.
