The New York City Department of Design and Construction initiated the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Station 17 project, which will build a new two-story emergency medical services station at 1257 Morris Avenue in the Bronx. The project includes space for seven ambulances, training facilities, and below-grade parking for EMS personnel. The new facility will replace the existing Ogden Avenue EMS station.

Melissa Johnson Associates is the community construction liaison for the project. MJA provides updates during construction to all major stakeholders, including elected officials, the community board, and the general public. The liaison is also responsible for managing incoming inquiries, developing project materials and distribution, and general outreach to stakeholders, including residents directly adjacent to the project site.
