Finding a new home for the Lincoln Police Department was a several year project that explored a brand new facility and other options before finally settling on the former Jefferson School for the department's new home.
Mayor Seth Goodman says renovations at the site underway and it will be a much needed new, and bigger facility for the department, who's been sharing space with the Sheriff's office for numerous years.
Mayor Goodman says the location, off the main road on Fifth Street, should be an ideal location with easy access to all parts of the community.
The inside of the building has been completely gutted and will allow the department to implement a customized floor plan. Mayor Goodman anticipates a completion date and move in date in 2018.
