"Oh Where, Oh Where, Does Our Little Fire Engine House Go, Oh Where, Oh Where, Should It Be ?"The people of our community spoke out at our City Council Meeting last night and the overwhelming majority said this:
***Do NOT build it at our Lake Minnehaha Park !
***But DO seriously consider building it on one of the developers sites ~ either the north section of The Trevi just off 17-92 or on the Sun Trust Bank parking lot on West George Avenue property.
Earl Emrick, our CRA Director, will be researching both options and reporting back to our City Council with his findings.
In addition, Rebecca Ritchey implored our council to dream big, do the impossible, think outside the box in order to secure the Packwood Apartments location because she believes it's THE absolute best location bar none. It's large, accommodating, centrally located and for sale.
Mayor Doug Kinson concurred and added that the Packwood properties would make a phenomenal park area since it is located so near a lake and that we do need to give this property very serious considerations.
Unless a viable location can be secured that would allow all Safety Public Buildings to be located on one site, the majority of residents agreed that the best suitable location for our Police Station would be on Fennel Road.

Great question, Ken...and thanks for asking !
The bulk of concerns are; neighborhood noise factor, children's safety, traffic issues.
