City of Suwanee issued the following announcement on September 15.
Gwinnett officials broke ground Tuesday on the site of the new Fire Station 13, which will be located at 105 Main Street in Suwanee.
Land for the project – located at the Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road end of the Brushy Creek Trail, near the library – was donated by the City of Suwanee. Along with the 11,000-square-feet fire station, the county is providing related road improvements to Main Street and the intersection with Suwanee Dam Road.
The new station will house a fire engine, an ambulance and staff a minimum of five firefighters and paramedics each day. Designed with future growth in mind, the station will be built to accommodate up to 11 personnel at a time.
Built in 1980, Station 13 was previously located at 343 Buford Highway. The lease agreement between the city and county expired in April 2019, with the county choosing to build a larger, more modern facility to meet the growing needs of our area.
“Buford Highway was the home of Fire Station 13 for nearly 20 years and served as an anchor to the creation of Town Center; this new location will appropriately serve as an anchor to the expansion of that same park,” Suwanee Mayor Jimmy Burnette. “We’re pleased to be a part of this city-county partnership and to properly welcome Station 13 back home!”
