JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department held a groundbreaking Wednesday for Fire Station 74, which will be located on E-town Parkway.

The station will serve the new eTown master-planned community that's built around the theme of technology and convenience.

The PARC Group is the brainchild behind the community and has developed many of Northeast Florida’s premier addresses from Pablo Creek Reserve to the award-winning master planned community of Nocatee. 

Their vision was to develop communities that complement both the environment and the lifestyle of those that chose to make them home.

“eTown will be the first of its kind in our area — a relaxed suburban setting with a dynamic urban vibe,” said Mike White, The PARC Group’s Director of Planning and Development.  

“We’re creating the ideal place to enjoy a convenient and modern North Florida life, and we look forward to sharing it with those who will call it home.”
