Willow Construction was chosen to expand and rehab the Ocean City Fire Department headquarters. This project consisted of a 2,000 s.f. addition designed to include new conference rooms and offices for headquarters personnel who would be relocating from another facility. Improvements included a complete rehab of the engine bays, staff and officer offices, conference areas, and bunk rooms. The entire facility received new vinyl casement windows, roof replacement, and MEP upgrades.
