Care for police station plan prompts multiple interests
Three groups express interest in the existing Court Street police station as Metacom Avenue prepares for a new facility. The School Department seeks a central administrative headquarters while the Fourth of July Committee requests a permanent HQ to house documents and hold meetings. The Fire Department may use space for a firemen's museum as meetings proceed. The council will delay action until all requests are in and a decision on the building’s future is made. Construction on the new station is to start in April after a $603,563 federal grant.
