TCC approve short-term lease agreement for Fire Sub-Station

The Toccoa City Commission approved a short-term lease agreement for a Fire Sub-Station during its regular scheduled meeting Monday.

The short-term lease agreement is with Southern Company for the facility, formerly Georgia Power, located at 210 Collins Road.

According to City Manager Billy Morse, the lease agreement will serve as a solution to isolate and separate on-duty firefighters during the COVID-19 emergency period.

Morse says this will allow the shifts normally housed in one location to be separated in case one crew comes into contact with the coronavirus.

He says the former Georgia Power location is ideal for temporarily housing Firefighters and their apparatus; it is secure with a kitchenette, shower and covered truck parking.

Commissioner Gail Fry made a motion approving the short-term lease agreement.

The motion was approved unanimously.
