    TUPELO — As the All-America City develops, city officials plan infrastructure upgrades with that growth in mind. One focus the administration brought when it first came in three years ago was upgrading the city’s fire stations, and this continues with the recent effort to rebuild Fire Station No. 5.

    The Tupelo City Council voted unanimously this week to surplus and demolish three parcels on 2667 South Green Street to make way for the new Fire Station No. 5. This comes after the city purchased the properties from Kirk Used Car LLC for $145,000 and $200,000 to Melinda Kirk. The properties are next to the current fire station, which was built in 1970.
