Officials in Cave Creek (AZ) approved a $254,344 contract to come up with plans to remodel and renovate the community’s fire station which started life as a car wash, according to a report published by The Foothills Focus.
According to the report, the 4,654-square-foot building was built in 1999 as a car wash and converted into a fire station in 2005.
The town since has decided it needs more space in a different configuration, according to the report, and had thought the budget might be upwards to $5 million to create a building for the fire department.
The selected architect for the project believes, however, the expansion and reconfiguration of the space can be accomplished for total cost of about $2 million, according to the report.
