Leander’s fifth fire station will be completed in April for a May opening, said the city. The new station will hire at least three new firefighters and serve the western side in Travisso, Crystal Falls, and the Nameless Road area. Also, a part of the project is the police substation. It will be a place for officers to do administrative duties when they’re not on patrol.
The project is located at 2800 Travisso Parkway. It cost $4.3 million, and as of March 4th, the station is 85% complete. Funding for this project comes from the 2018 Leander certificates of obligation.
City Council voted back in January 2018 to plan and design the new facility to respond to nearby development and growth. It was expected to open in May 2019.
In addition to this new fire station, the council has approved the expansion and remodel of Fire Station Number 2, located on Crystal Falls Parkway. This renovation will improve response times by 10-20 minutes and build a bay and living quarters for a new Williamson County Emergency Medical Services unit.
