Title
Designating the northeast two acres of the City owned parcel located at 452 South Point Road as the location for Fire Station No. 12. (9th AD)

Preamble
The growth of the westside of the City has reached the point that the addition of a fire station is necessary to serve existing neighborhoods west of USH 12 (Beltline Highway.)
