This significant project will encompass a Facility Condition Assessment, Facility Needs Assessment, and the subsequent Facility Master Plan and Strategy for key municipal facilities, including City Hall, the Police Department, and the Public Service/Parks complex.
Addressing Aging Infrastructure
In recent years, Powell has recognized the pressing need for renovation and expansion of its municipal facilities. City Hall, the Police Department, and the Public Services building, which have faithfully served the community for decades, are now confronting issues related to age and capacity. These structures are increasingly inadequate to support the growing scope of services required by Powell’s burgeoning population.
