Police Training Facility Renovation At Hazard Avenue
Renovation of an old industrial building on Hazard Avenue near Olive Street cost about $5 million and took 18 months to complete. The facility, funded from leftover redevelopment funds, covers 20,964 square feet with an indoor firing range and a 10-lane tactical range. Annual operations and maintenance are estimated at 60,000 to 70,000 dollars, and the project aims to improve the department and attract other agencies. City officials say it will give officers better training and tools for on‑the‑job success.
