🎖️ Council backs BAMC's trauma mission
San Antonio City Council approved a resolution reaffirming support for Brooke Army Medical Center, the region's only Level I trauma center and the only one in the Department of Defense's health care system.
The resolution calls for regional coordination and a data-driven review of any changes to local trauma care capacity, with an eye on the complex trauma cases BAMC needs to train military medical staff.
🚒 New Fire Station 33 headed for Castroville Road
Council awarded a contract of up to $9.17 million to Marksmen General Contractors to replace Fire Station 33 on the West Side. The new station will sit at 2935 Castroville Road, a couple of blocks from the current station at 2002 SW 36th St.
The 2022 bond project has a total budget of about $16.4 million, and construction is expected to run from fall 2026 through winter 2028.
