Town of Homer – Town Hall and Fire Station
The Town Hall was designed and built to house the offices of the Mayor and Utilities Departments as well as serve as the public meeting room for the Mayor & Commission hearings. This 3,000 sq. ft. brick building consisted of a lobby, reception, meeting room, catering kitchen, office space, two vaults, secondary support facilities and space for a future expansion.
The 12,000 sq. ft. Fire Station not only provided the town with a functional facility to house the firefighting equipment which met the required standards of the fire department, but also provided a facility the community could use as well. The building was designed as a 24/7 staffed facility and included 2 equipment bays, an office, a bunkroom, a day room, a training room, a laundry, bath rooms, and storage areas. A storage area was also added in the attic space that could be expanded into office areas for future use.
The estimated cost of these projects was $2,250,000 and were constructed in whole or in part using Georgia Department of Corrections inmate labor.
