HOLLADAY — The Holladay Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on Tuesday, June 26 at 7 p.m. to discuss preliminary concept plans for a new fire station.
The current station, at 4625 S. Holladay Blvd. was built approximately 60 years ago. A 2009 report found a cracking bearing wall is getting worse since it was discovered in 2003. It also stated the existing station is at risk of catastrophic collapse in the event of an earthquake. A recent report also stated that it was discovered to have been built on a landfill due to evidence of soil borings.
The new fire station will be located on 2210 E. Murray- Holladay Road on the property located across the street from Olympus Junior High School. The city has pursued funding options for a new fire station over the past several years, with little success in this economic environment. However, it recently was able to refinance the existing city hall bond at a lower interest rate to fund the new fire station without an additional tax burden to residents.
The property was donated to the city by Salt Lake County with a requirement that the property could only be used for a public use, according to a recent report from the city of Holladay.
The meeting will be held Tuesday, June 26 at 4580 S. 2300.
