Troy Mayor Carmella Mantello has announced that the city is now accepting bids for the construction of a new fire station in the Lansingburgh neighborhood. The current 40-year-old station is deemed inadequate and unable to meet the demands of modern firefighting, prompting the mayor to make this project a priority to better serve the community and firefighters.

Why it matters

The new fire station will provide much-needed upgrades and modernization to the city's fire service infrastructure in Lansingburgh, a neighborhood that has historically lacked investment. This project is expected to boost public safety and support broader community revitalization efforts in the area.

The details

The new fire station will feature four high-bay apparatus bays, a partial mezzanine, and a connected two-story section with living quarters, administrative offices, an exercise room, decontamination and gear washrooms, bunk rooms, and locker rooms - all designed to meet the operational needs of today's fire service.

  • Mayor Mantello announced the bid acceptance on March 16, 2026.
