MEMORANDUM
To: Ad Hoc Facilities Committee
From: Matthew W. Knott, Fire Chief
Date: December 18, 2025
Re: Green Bay Metro Fire Department Fire Station 1
The Green Bay Metro Fire Department (GBMFD) is requesting an opinion on the
direction to proceed with planning regarding the new fire station to be located at 420
South Broadway, Green Bay, WI. Significant reductions and value engineering have
been conducted to date to get to the final proposed product. We are requesting the
committee to discuss and provide a final recommendation on the recommended course
of action based on the following concepts:
• Build a fire station only. This concept involved a building two-stories high and
would just accommodate a fire station without administrative support space. Fire
administration would remain housed in City Hall or another location to be
determined.
• Build three story fire station with the third-floor administrative offices just
constructed as a shell, without final trim and finishes. The fire station would
operate on the first and second floors with fire administration remaining at City
Hall or other location until such time as the third floor is finished.
• Build three story fire station to include fire administration offices
(RECOMMENDED).
