Celebrating the completion of Allen Park Fire Station renovation and addition
ALLEN PARK, Michigan. Vig Construction Company joined the City of Allen Park, community leaders, residents, and members of the Allen Park Fire Department for the dedication of the newly renovated and expanded Allen Park Fire Station.
The project holds special significance for Vig Construction Company, which originally built the fire station in 1969 and returned more than five decades later to modernize the facility for the next generation of first responders.
The approximately 25,000-square-foot renovation and addition was completed with Sidock Group, Inc. serving as project architect and Charles E. Raines Company as civil engineer. Construction was performed through a multi-phase approach that allowed the fire department to remain operational throughout the project.
“Returning to a building our company originally constructed in 1969 and having the opportunity to help prepare it for decades of future service is something we are extremely proud of,” said Joseph Vig, CEO of Vig Construction Company. “We appreciate the cooperation of the Allen Park Fire Department throughout construction and the support of Allen Park residents who made this investment in public safety possible.”
The completed project modernizes the station while supporting the operational needs of the department and the firefighters who serve the Allen Park community. Maintaining fire department operations during construction required careful phasing, scheduling and coordination among the City, fire department, design team and construction team.
A Longstanding Partnership with Allen Park
The fire station project continues a relationship between Vig Construction Company and the City of Allen Park that spans more than 60 years. During that time, Vig Construction Company has built or worked on several of the community’s key public facilities, including the 24th District Court, Allen Park Fire Station, Police Station, City Hall and Department of Public Services facilities.
“This project represents much more than the renovation of a building,” Vig said. “For us, it reflects a longstanding relationship with Allen Park and our commitment to building facilities that serve communities for generations.”
Despite rainy weather, the dedication brought together project partners and community members to celebrate the station’s completion and recognize the City’s continued investment in its public safety infrastructure.
