 Meeting will be held at the:

Wheaton Community Center

Project Description:

The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) plans to build a new grade separated interchange at Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road. This will require the demolition and relocation of current Fire Station No. 18 at that location. A replacement fire station will be located on the WMATA site adjacent to the planned parking garage on the west side of Georgia Avenue across from Glenallan Avenue.

This project provides for a new fire station to replace the current fire station located at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road. The recommended replacement fire-rescue station is a modified Class II station designed to meet current operational requirements and accommodate modern fire fighting apparatus. The project includes living and administrative areas, gear storage, decontamination, Information Technology rooms, and three apparatus bays.
