Evergreen Fire/Rescue is poised to select a firm to design and build its new Station 1, which will replace the district’s oldest station on Highway 73 near downtown Evergreen.

The station, which will be constructed on the former Evergreen Mountain Market property, is estimated to cost about $8 million and has been more than 20 years in the making. It is being funded from property taxes collected thanks to a mill levy increase approved by voters in 2016.
Plans call for a 15,000- to 20,000-square-foot building with 11 vehicle bays, crew quarters, a kitchen, exercise room and meeting room.
