UPDATE : https://www.cityofportsmouth.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/CIP%2024-29%20-%20City%20Council%20Document%20-%201-18-23-compressed.pdf The results of the space needs study conducted in FY14 determined the current facility no longer meets the needs of the Police Department. This project would fund the design and construction of a new facility after a site selection study and conceptual design are complete. In FY22, $1,400,000 was approved in the CIP to fund the preliminary designs once prospective sites were chosen. In FY23, an additional $2,800,000 was allocated to complete the pre-construction process and provide the necessary documents and information needed to make a final decision regarding construction (this funding was approved as part of the budget process, but has yet to be authorized). Note: The cost estimates provided are based on those provided in a prior study and the pricing is escalated to the current year. Project is included City of Portsmouth FY 2024-2029 CIP.
