Asheville Announces New Fire Station For Oakley
The City of Asheville announced that a new fire station is coming to the Oakley community to replace Asheville’s Fire Station 9. The new fire station is the first of two phases for the Oakley Public Safety Complex, a project that will bring our public safety facilities in Oakley to modern day standards. The first phase replaces the fire station, and the second will replace the old fire station with a new East Asheville Police Resource Center.
The 2023 Comprehensive Facility Study identify the Oakley complex as a high priority for upgrade and the project is funded by a 2024 general obligation bond will fund the project to improve local fire and police operations.
