We’re excited to share our new three-part podcast series, Unlocking Funding for Fire Station Projects.
In this series, we bring you insights from our work with fire departments across California to help them navigate one of the toughest challenges they face: replacing outdated fire stations amid rapidly rising construction costs.
Across three episodes, we explore the realities of today’s funding environment — from planning, development impact fees, to grants, earmarks, and financing — and share real examples of how departments are making modern facilities a reality. We also discuss common pitfalls and what it takes to build a successful, long-term funding strategy.
The goal of this series is simple: to make complex funding concepts approachable and give fire leaders the knowledge they need to move their projects forward.
