The county said this is the first station to break ground since February. Station 70 on Nassauville Road and Station 90 on County Road 2 are both under construction.

The station is being built through a public-private partnership with GreenPoint Holdings.

“There’s nothing better that forms a sense of community than a fire station,” GreenPointe President Grady Myers said at today’s groundbreaking ceremony. “It’s so important and vital to the community and this station will give the county a better opportunity to serve the residents.”

Fire Station 10 will be built at 75922 Edward Road in Yulee.
