Amid cheers from the small crowd still in attendance near the end of the Tuesday, May 9, Branson Board of Aldermen meeting, the board voted unanimously to approve a construction contract for a new fire station.
The contract was awarded to Construct Companies, LLC for just over $4 million for the new facility located on the south side of Branson near the former Welk Resort at 251 Champagne Boulevard. The 9,556 square foot building will have three bays for fire vehicles, six bunk rooms with living quarters, and multiple office spaces.
“The building is budgeted to be staffed with a captain, engineer, and two firefighters operating an engine company,” Fire Chief Ted Martin told the aldermen.
