Big Changes Planned For OC Fire Department Buildings

OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City Fire Department (OCFD) has received the go-ahead to move into the next phases of the renovation on the headquarters building downtown and the complete rebuild of Station 4 uptown.

The first request before the Mayor and City Council this week was for approval to contract an architect, Design Atlantic, for final design services and construction documents for Fire Station 4 on 130th Street.

According to City Engineer Terry McGean, who was not present during the meeting, the preliminary design for a new Fire Station 4 has been approved by the Fire Department Building Committee and staff requests the council’s approval to move forward with final design and preparation of construction documents with the goal of beginning construction in the spring of 2013.
