The City of Fort Madison will hold a groundbreaking and project update tomorrow, Friday, December 5th, for two major facility projects.
The event begins at 2 p.m. at the site of the new Fire Station at 2200 Avenue L, followed by an update at the new Public Works Facility on 21st Street.
Voters approved up to $12 million for a new fire station in 2024, though the city expects the project to come in much lower, with construction set to begin in spring 2026.
Work is already underway on the new 15,000-square-foot Public Works building. The facility will house trucks and heavy equipment and is designed for future expansion.
Future plans include additional parking, updated staff facilities, and a new salt storage building as the city continues to grow its Public Works operations.
