City of Euless officials told residents at the annual town hall that three major public‑safety and animal‑care capital projects are moving forward, with the new Fire Station No. 2 closest to opening and the police expansion and animal shelter following in phased timelines.

Mayor Linda Martin and Fire Chief Chance Bennett said the new Fire Station No. 2 is “getting very close to opening.” Bennett said the city is aiming for a late‑spring open house once final commissioning is complete. “You might actually, if you live down there, see me at your door, talking to you personally about that,” he said.

City leaders described the police project as an expansion and renovation of the existing police and municipal courts complex on State Highway 10. Police Chief Gary Landers said the project will add about 38,000 square feet to the current facility and create space for an enlarged force and updated court functions. “We’re adding about 38,000 square feet to the building,” Landers said, and officials estimated a 2026 completion date for the police work.

Officials also reviewed plans to combine the current animal shelter and the old Fire Station No. 2 site into a single, larger animal‑care campus. Chris Barker, assistant city manager, and Landers said the new shelter will be roughly 4.8 times larger than the existing building and include dedicated adoption rooms, indoor areas for volunteer groups and turf outdoor runs. Landers said staff and contractors are in place: “The contractor has moved his construction trailer … The city council already funded the project.”

City leaders said animals have been temporarily relocated to the existing facility on Highway 10 to allow work to begin once the fire crews move to the new station. Officials said the animal shelter scope, site plans and bids are complete and construction will begin after the fire station move.

Officials asked residents to watch for public notices about open houses and to expect phased work across the projects to minimize service disruptions. No formal vote or council action was taken at the town hall; officials reported on schedules and next steps and invited public input.
