Ocala plans co‑located fire and police training campus; $3M previously set aside
Summary
City staff described a proposed co‑located training facility for fire and police, with conceptual design work underway and about $3 million already set aside in prior budgets.
City staff described plans for a co‑located training campus that would serve both fire and police personnel; an architect is producing a conceptual design to take to neighborhood stakeholders. "What it's gonna be is co located training facility for fire and police," one staff member said while explaining the current project status and phasing.
Haslam told council that the budget already carries funds for the project: "I believe we've already set aside $3,000,000 for that facility," she said, adding that the campus will likely be phased and the fire elements could begin in the next couple of years depending on funding. Staff said police funding is being developed and that the design approach (design‑build vs. design then bid) will be evaluated during conceptual design.
