ALEXANDRIA FIRE DEPARTMENT SCHEDULES JANUARY 22 COMMUNITY MEETING
TO REVIEW RENOVATION PLANS FOR WINDSOR AVENUE FIRE STATION 202

The public is invited to view architectural plans for the renovation and modernization of the interior of Alexandria Fire Station 202 at a community meeting at 7:30 p.m. next Monday, January 22 at the Mount Vernon Recreation Center, 2701 Commonwealth Avenue.

The renovation project will update building utilities and reconfigure the living quarters of the firefighters and paramedics who staff the Station 202, located at 213 East Windsor Avenue in the City’s Del Ray neighborhood. The historic building was originally built in 1926 as the Town Hall for the Town of Potomac and became part of the City of Alexandria following annexation in 1930.

The project, designed by Larson-Koenig Associates architects, will include installation of central air conditioning, updated plumbing, and an upgrade of electrical service to accommodate the demands of a modern workplace. Public areas will also be brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Larson-Koenig representatives will be available to discuss project features and answer any questions.
