New Bridge Fire & EMS

1856 New Bridge Rd, Mineral, VA 23117

Project Purpose

The New Bridge Fire & Rescue Station will improve service and reduce response times around Lake Anna and in surrounding areas of the County. The area that this station will serve as “first due” is where we have a significant amount of current and projected growth.

Safety Equipment & Scope of Work

This project includes the following new safety equipment:

• Ambulance
• Fire Engine
• Tanker 

This station will also be responsible for staffing our fire/rescue boat. 

The Scope of Work for the building materials - including panel material, fasteners, gable trim, etc. - can be found in the April 4, 2022 Board of Supervisors Agenda Packet. 

Community Contribution 

This important project to enhance public safety reflects a considerable amount of both coordination between and commitment from Louisa County and the Foundation for Lake Anna Emergency Services. The Louisa County Board of Supervisors approved the New Bridge Fire & Rescue Station Capital Project as part of the FY 2021 Budget process, and the Foundation for Lake Anna Emergency Services has collected nearly $200,000 to-date in donations to contribute to the project. 

Expected Completion

Relationship to the Louisa County's Strategic Initiatives

In accordance with the County's Strategic Initiative I, this item is intended to support the economic well-being of Louisa County. The County’s core values of integrity, accountability, transparency, and stewardship are all an integral part of this Initiative. It is Louisa County’s intention to employ the healthy mix of assets, location, and heritage to grow, diversify, and strengthen the economic well-being of County citizens and businesses alike. 

The practice of good governance is the intention of Strategic Initiative II. This requires that Louisa County’s mission statement and seven core values remain the focal point in all decisions made by the Board of Supervisors. This item assists in the accomplishment of this goal and expands upon the objectives already attained in previous resolutions. 

The Louisa County Board of Supervisors must maintain a positive and interactive relationship with County citizens and must be committed to helping citizens gain a greater understanding of their local government. This requires that the Board uphold values of integrity, transparency, and accountability as well as foster an environment where citizens’ concerns are a priority. This item supports the goals of Initiative IV in order to strengthen civic partnership in Louisa County.
