The Apex town council will meet on Tuesday to discuss the future of Fire Station 1, a historic firehouse that has served the downtown community for over 70 years. Some community members have expressed concern over the potential relocation of the fire station and have petitioned to preserve the firehouse, with a Change.org petition garnering almost 1,300 signatures.
Planning and Research
The town council will consider a budget amendment to fund research for the Station 1 site, including a market analysis of the building’s location and tests of business ideas for the success of incoming ventures for the building. The station has been a part of the downtown Apex community for over 70 years, and its potential relocation has sparked concern among residents.
In July, the Apex town council approved the expansion of Station 3, which is less than one mile away from Station 1. This planning meeting will provide opportunities for public comment, allowing residents to voice their opinions on the future of Fire Station 1.
