Grand Opening of Fire Station 50

On Friday, April 28, 2023 at 10:30am the public is invited to attend the grand  opening of Fire Station 50 located at 1280 San Marco Road, Marco Island. In June 2021 the City  Council approved a contract with Manhattan Construction Group for approximately $12.5 million to  demolish the old fire station and build a new state-of-the-art fire station and emergency operations  center. Construction began in September 2021 and the new fire station will open April 28, 2023.  The building is rated for a category 5 hurricane, it will house the City’s data center, and provide an  emergency operations center to ensure consistent City services during hurricanes and other  emergency events. There will be tours of the fire station and food and drinks for attendees. This  event is free and open to the public. 

Vehicle parking around the fire station is limited, but there is additional parking in front of City Hall at  50 Bald Eagle Drive and across the street at the NCH Urgent Care at 40 South Heathwood Drive.  Please drive with caution, watch for pedestrians crossing the street, and only park in designated  parking areas.
