The City of Great Bend will seek approval from the city council Monday, June 20 to widen the property boundaries at the site for the new police station.
GLMV Architecture has requested to vacate 25 feet of the western right-of-way
of Baker Avenue and to vacate 18 feet of the northern right-of-way of 11th
Street.
The request is being made to provide adequate site area for the proposed police
station after the project did not fit within the legal boundaries at the
southwest corner of the 12th & Baker intersection.
The last estimate had the 20,100-square-foot police station costing more than
$9.1 million.
The current police station on Williams Street is roughly 7,500 square feet and
was built in 1938.
The city council meets June 20 at City Hall at 6:30 p.m.
