Gwinnett County to Build 2 New Fire Stations

Gwinnett County commissioners approved a construction contract this past week to build Fire Station 31 and relocate Fire Station 10.

The cost of the projects, to be paid with SPLOST funds, is $6.8 million, the county said in a press release. Work is expected to begin next month.

According to Gwinnett Fire Chief Casey Snyder, the stations will enhance emergency response capabilities in this fast-growing community.

Fire Station 31 will be located at 1061 Collins Hill Road in Lawrenceville, across from Georgia Gwinnett College. This location provides quick access to the Highway 316 corridor and places fire and emergency medical personnel close to the college and surrounding homes and businesses.

Fire Station 10 is being relocated to 1131 Rock Springs Road in Lawrenceville, a more central site within its response territory. The new facility will provide adequate space for today’s crew members and allow for future expansion. It replaces a much older and smaller station that is currently located at the corner of Russell Road and Buford Drive.
