SUMMARY: The Fire Station Three had a grand reopening led by Miya Turner, who explained how health issues led to the redesign of the station following damage from Hurricane Katrina. FEMA officials decided to create a new metal building over the station. Mayor George Bass mentioned that the redesign will bring a huge economic boost to Long Beach. They initially set aside $750,000 for the project, but ended up spending $1.2 million. The new facility has a high wind rating and will allow firefighters to be present during severe weather situations, improving overall safety and functionality.

The building redesign was due to health issues that resulted from the first redesign after Hurricane Katrina.
