The Georgetown police department's future headquarters.
Police station plans progress
By Brad Stutzrnan
Plans to renovate the old water
plant on Martin Luther King
Street for Georgetown's new
police department building are on
schedule.
"We've done work on the ex-
terior and are ready to move ahead
with this," David Voelter, the
project's architect, told
Georgetown City Council at a
Tuesday, Aug. 27 meeting.
The new police station, which
will occupy 5,600 square -feet in
the old water building's western
portion, will cost $450,000 to
renovate.

At that time, city officials
thought the police station would
be moved across Main Street to the
Georgetown Public Library.
But, when a bond issue that
would have created funding for a
new library failed in the same elec-
tion, the city was left with money

place to put it.
After studying several options,
Council decided to revamp the old
water building, which is current-
ly vacant, except for several diesel
engines.
Voelter said the engines will be

After picking a site, Council ap-
propriated an additional $200,000
for refurbishing the western in-
terior portion of the building.
The city plans to revamp the
structure's entire exterior, also.
Approximately $25,000 has been
spent on architectural fees.
Voelter said work on the new
station could begin within the
next 10 weeks.
"If we can move ahead with
construction drawings on the west
side, I guess it would be five to six
weeks before we could put it out
for bid and a month for a bidding
period," Voelter said.
