Project Summary
On September 15, 2025, the Wake County Board of Commissioners approved a construction contract award to G & G Builders of Wendell, Inc. for the Sandy Plains Public Safety Station project. The new 8,500 square foot public safety station is a co-location of Northern Wake Fire Department, Wake County EMS, and the Wake County Sheriff’s Office. This project will increase the presence of essential public safety services in northern Wake County and it will reduce response times by more than half. The project will utilize 10+/- acres of county property north of Falls Lake and just south of the Granville County line. Site features include well and septic systems, approximately 17 parking spaces, storm water control measures, and infrastructure for EV parking. The building includes dormitories, day rooms, exercise space, kitchen facilities, work areas, apparatus bays, support space, and a wellness room for staff. Sustainability features include a solar photovoltaic array, roofing materials with high solar reflectivity, high albedo pavement, local drought-tolerant plant materials, and energy-efficient systems and appliances. This will also be one of the county’s first all-electric facilities. Construction will begin in November 2025, and the facility should be open in the Fall of 2026.
