Here, we are building a new station to replace the old station next door.
The existing station is quite old – 50 years old – and it’s in dire need of some repairs.
This new station in the community of Herring Cove will allow for better response,
better equipment and increased staff.
This area is growing quite rapidly.
We’re approximately 20 minutes from the downtown core, so it’s growing very fast.
With the stimulus funding, we have been able to get this station built a lot quicker.
Under normal circumstances, this would probably be a five-year project,
where this, we’ve been able to get it constructed within a year.
It has also increased the jobs in the area for a lot of the trades people.
We were lucky enough to get stimulus funding to construct this station.
