Wilmette is expected to select a site for its new $34 million police station next year to replace the old station that was built in the 700 block of Ridge Road in 1968.The Wilmette Village Board hopes to reach a consensus on concept designs and preliminary building programs for the new police station at the start of the fall to bring on architects to begin the preliminary design process.
There are still many unknowns regarding the project, including where the new station will be located. Without a site chosen, the board is unable to bring on an architect to design the building and provide a full picture that includes a footprint size. “I’ve come to a place where I’m feeling very strongly about the facility, the project and the spaces,” he said. “But I think this needs to be a board decision that stands up in the face of robust discussion and public comment that I know much of which will be negative.”
Resident Dan Kaplan urged the board to renovate the existing station instead of undertaking a whole new construction project.
