Workers are installing temporary housing today for the Defenders of Greenwood who will soon move five blocks south to the lot at 6802 Greenwood Ave. N. while Station 21 is torn down and rebuilt.
As previously reported, the firefighters are moving from the corner of North 73rd Street and Greenwood Avenue North to the temporary station while their current station is demolished and rebuilt.
The new two-story Station 21 will have 8,576 square feet of space, including larger living quarters and offices for the firefighters, as well as more room for equipment. The city purchased a small piece of property east of the old station to make room for the new building.
