City officials outline timeline for police station and fire station renovations

Bowling Green City Council is moving forward with plans for a new police station and fire stations, as discussed in their recent meeting on July 7, 2025. The council is currently working on the design phase, which is crucial for determining project costs and timelines.

City officials confirmed that legislation is being prepared to authorize the next level of design work for both the police and fire stations. This step is essential for refining the project details and ensuring that the construction process can begin smoothly. The design work for the fire stations is expected to be completed more quickly, allowing for a staggered construction schedule.

Once the fire stations are operational, police operations will temporarily relocate to one of the new fire stations to facilitate renovations at the current police station. This strategic approach aims to minimize disruption during the construction process.

The timeline for completing the renovations at the police station is projected for around 2028, pending successful voter approval of the necessary funding. City officials emphasized the importance of community support in moving these projects forward, highlighting their potential to enhance public safety services in Bowling Green.

As the council continues to refine these plans, further updates are anticipated, ensuring that residents remain informed about the progress and implications of these significant developments.
