FRANKFORT, Ind. – The Frankfort Board of Works approved the final design and specifications of a planned, new $8.5 million police station at a special meeting held Tuesday, June 7.
The police station will be built on State Road 28 West just east of Brock Grain Systems.
Police Chief Scott Shoemaker described the design change as cost savings that impacted the training room which altered the outside appearance along with the roof line.
Shoemaker described the training room design change “substantial” and described the space as being redesigned “from the lecture type tiered system to a multi-purpose use now. We have taken the tiers out of the seating and the room can be utilized for classroom style training, official tactics style training, and also our virtual reality [training].”
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on June 27.
