Fire Station & SJSO Facility at Silverleaf

Description

Provide a new Fire-Rescue and Sheriff’s Office station in the north central region of the County, to be staffed with full-time personnel. This station will provide a level of service comparable to that being provided to other areas of the County with similar populations and building densities due to rapid and exponential growth in this area. This would be a similar facility to that of the US1 South combined public safety building which houses fire rescue and sheriff’s office personnel. A potential site has been proposed and discussed in coordination with the Silverleaf development team. Other funding for this project may come from Impact Fees, a commercial paper program, a longer-term capital banknote, or a 30-year bond issue. This station has been recommended in the Fire Rescue Master Plan. Additional considerations should be made for future traffic signalization and future preemption on St. Johns Parkway. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget for this project is $14,233,017.
