NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (June 17, 2025) - MEMS hosted a ribbon cutting today for its new station in North Little Rock to be called “MEMS North.” Located at 711 W. 29th St., North Little Rock, AR 72114, the facility was recently remodeled after MEMS purchased the budling from the City of North Little Rock in 2023.

North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick joined Greg Thompson, executive director of MEMS, Derrell Hartwick, president & CEO of North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and Bob Butler, vice president of Alessi Keyes to mark the occasion.

“We are excited for MEMS to have a physical presence in North Little Rock. MEMS continues to provide life-saving services for our residents. This longtime partnership is such a positive force in our city,” said Mayor Hartwick.

The 4,800-square foot building will host an auxiliary communications center, crew rest area including restrooms and showers, as well as a training area for MEMS and other first responders. Renovations on the facility were led by Alessi Keyes Construction.

“MEMS is honored to serve the North Little Rock and surrounding areas” said Greg Thompson, executive director of MEMS. “This facility is a testament to our commitment to provide the highest quality of care for these communities.”
