The new four-story police station includes multiple conference/teaching rooms, a shooting range, a fitness facility, holding cells, an E-911 dispatch center, and generous office and support space. Numerous, technology-rich conference/meeting rooms will allow the police station to function in the role as a teaching facility.

The new four-story public works administration building effectively consolidates the city’s highway, engineering, parks and recreation, and facilities departments all in one building.
