City of Palm Coast Seeking Community Letters of Support for Historic Fire Station 22 Restoration Grant

The City of Palm Coast is inviting residents to show their support for preserving the community’s most historic landmarks as it pursues grant funding through Lowe's to help restore Fire Station 22, the oldest building in Palm Coast.

Located at 307 Palm Coast Parkway NW, Fire Station 22 was originally constructed in 1977 and played a central role in the early development of emergency services in Palm Coast. The facility once housed the Palm Coast Fire Department, a sheriff’s substation, and EMS ambulances under one roof, serving as the foundation for the professional public safety services the community relies on today.

As part of its grant application, the City is seeking letters of support from residents who would like to help preserve and repurpose the historic building for future community use.

The proposed restoration would modernize the facility while preserving its historic character. Planned improvements include upgraded HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, enhanced life safety features, structural and architectural repairs, and updated communications infrastructure. These improvements would extend the building’s lifespan and prepare it for a new role as a community asset.

Once restored, Fire Station 22 is envisioned to serve as a museum and community gathering space, created in partnership with the local historical society. The facility would provide space for educational programs, fire prevention outreach, community meetings, and events that celebrate the city’s public safety history.

“Fire Station 22 represents where modern fire service began in Palm Coast,” said Palm Coast Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill. “This grant opportunity gives our community a chance to rally around the fire service and help protect a building that means so much to our history. With community support, we can preserve this landmark and ensure it continues serving residents in a new and meaningful way for generations to come.”

Preserving Fire Station 22 represents an opportunity to honor Palm Coast’s past while creating a place where residents can connect, learn, and engage with their community for years to come.

Residents who wish to support the project are encouraged to submit a short letter describing why restoring Fire Station 22 is important to them and the community.

Letters of support must be submitted by Monday, March 16, 2026. Residents may submit letters by email to communications@palmcoastgov.com 

Community support will play an important role in demonstrating the value of preserving this historic facility and ensuring it continues to serve Palm Coast for generations to come.
