Brookhaven Residents Seek Delay on DeKalb Fire Station Site

Brookhaven residents are asking DeKalb County to defer a decision on the location of a fire station, bringing the siting question before county officials.

The request concerns where the DeKalb County fire station would be placed. The residents’ position is that the county should postpone action on the location rather than move ahead with a decision now.

The development leaves the station’s proposed location subject to further consideration by DeKalb County. A deferral would delay the county’s decision-making process; the available account does not identify a new decision date or describe any final action by county officials.

What the request means

A deferral is a request to put the location decision off. It does not, by itself, select a different site or cancel the fire station project.

What happens next

DeKalb County’s next step would be to decide whether to grant the requested delay and how to proceed with the location question. The county’s decision and any revised schedule will determine when the siting issue returns for consideration.
