The Board of County Commissioners has unanimously approved funding for the construction for the permanent location of Station 32. Currently Station 32 operates out of a strip mall and temporary structures along East Orange Lake Boulevard, off of 192.

Orange County Fire Station 32 is approximately a 11 ,532 square-foot, single-story structure, to be located on 14100 Hartzog Road on a 1.62 acre (70,533 square-foot) site. The proposed building would accommodate three apparatus bays and apparatus bay support areas, along with general facility functions such as kitchen, dining, dormitory, restrooms, and showers, with equipment/utility/support spaces also included.

There is a site wall around the perimeter of the property and traffic signalization. This is considered an essential facility according to the Florida Building Code and must comply with the required design criteria (pressures and impact). The building structure includes reinforced masonry with structural steel framing and metal deck with insulation and metal roofing system. Exterior envelope systems (doors, storefront, glazing, apparatus bay doors and exterior rolling doors) compliance with missile impact Level “D” and Level “E” properties are required.

The construction contract will be awarded for $6,957,777, and the project is partially funded from the American Rescue Plan Act. The project was awarded to Mulligan Constructors, Inc.
