Groundbreaking For New Sudbury Fire Station On Boston Post Road
Sudbury Town Meeting in 2021 approved spending $4.3 million to expand the Route 20 station.
SUDBURY, MA — Construction will officially begin Wednesday on a new fire station along Route 20 in Sudbury.
In May 2021, Sudbury Town Meeting approved spending $4.3 million to upgrade and expand the station at 550 Boston Post Road. The town borrowed about $3.3 million of the total cost, with the rest coming from existing funds.
The expansion will add four new bunk rooms, a kitchen and other facilities to support four firefighters and an ambulance. Sudbury Fire Department Chief John Whalen has said new age-restricted developments along Route 20 have added hundreds of emergency calls to that area in recent years, making the larger station necessary.
