The county will build a new fire station at the northeast corner of 102nd Street and Lexington Avenue, to the north of Panasonic’s $4 billion electric-vehicle battery manufacturing plant.

Property owner Sunflower Redevelopment Group donated the 9-acre site to Johnson County’s Northwest Consolidated Fire District to build the station. The 20,170-square-foot Sunflower Fire Station will include three firetruck bays, a kitchen, offices, a fitness area and bunk rooms.
A fourth firetruck bay and additional bunk rooms are planned for a later phase.
